If you actually plan to observe from one of these locations, it’ll allow you to orientate yourself with the night sky and remember instructions such as “the star just above Beckford’s Tower”. By using a local view, you get more of a feel of where objects are in the sky and makes it more familiar and accessible. There are several reasons to use your our backdrop or landscape in Stellarium.

Below are a selection of zip files for various Landscapes around Bath for you to download and install if you wanted to.
#STELLARIUM. ORG SOFTWARE#
The software comes with some nice fields in Europe, but if you wanted something a little closer to home, you can click on “ Add or remore landscapes…” and add your own that you’ve downloaded. Simply click on “ Sky and Viewing Options window” on the left side icon menu or press F4, and then click the Landscape tab. It is available for Linux/Unix, Windows and macOS. This software is a model that students can use to view the positions of the sun, moon, planets and stars in the day and night sky. Fortunately, that could be any of us.The software allows you to change the Landscape you appear to be standing in. Stellarium is a free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real time with OpenGL. Stellarium should appeal both to users who need something more academic and less distracting than Google or Microsoft's offerings, as well as those who have a need for an open-source planetarium. This project is sill in beta, please report any bugs or ask questions to or on our Github page. When you run the program for the first time it asks that you set your current location, but the mouse-over map of the world was too small to use easily. Stellarium Web is an online planetarium running in your web browser based on the open source stellarium web project. The nifty record feature is somewhat hampered by the dark interface. Stellarium can be downloaded at www.stellarium. Its source code is available and is freely modifiable and redistributable as per the GNU Public License.

Stellarium is provided as an open-source project. The controls live in the lower left corner and are transparent-a bit hard to find. In addition, Stellarium includes a basic scripting interface that allows custom simulations to be created by the user. Stellarium incorporates star-views from the Moon. Besides equatorial and azimuthal grids, users also get shooting stars when appropriate, eclipse simulation, and skinnable landscapes. They probably look better on a planetarium dome, which is why it's useful that Stellarium also includes a fish-eye view for curved surfaces. The dawn, dusk and atmosphere backgrounds were good, but not great on our monitor.

There's a full Messier catalog of nebulae, too. Stellarium is a planetarium software that shows exactly what you see when you look up at the stars.

The constellations of 10 different cultures are included, as well as illustrations and asterisms to help you visualize what the ancients saw. Stellarium is very simple to use, which is one of its biggest advantages: it can easily be used by. It renders the skies in realtime using OpenGL, which means the skies will look exactly like what you see with your eyes, binoculars, or a small telescope.
#STELLARIUM. ORG UPGRADE#
The default catalog includes 600,000 stars, with upgrade modules that can push the count up to 210 million stars. Stellarium is an open source desktop planetarium for Linux/Unix, Windows and macOS. It does run only in full screen mode, making any other programs you're running inaccessible except for the ALT-Tab switcher.

It doesn't suck away your RAM into a black hole when loading or running. It's not quite as robust as its competitors, but it's also a much faster program. Open source and currently in use by planetarium projectors, Stellarium brings astronomer-level features to stargazers of all levels of interest.
