Astro Tutorial #1.3: Using Stellarium
Вставка

- Hey folks!
This is me doing a quick run down of the most important features of the free planetarium software “Stellarium”. It’s easy to use and very useful if you want to get a first feeling for the movement of the sky - different regions - star signs… say: a rough orientation.
Download Stellarium here:

great works Chris, thank you for the video
Thanks ngockhanh!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for this encouraging comment!
what a useful program
That's so true! Clear skies to you! -Chris
How do you increase the font size or label an object so that when you zoom out you can still see where it is in relation to the constellation? I've seen many videos that do this but can't seem to find a font increase or label feature. What would you advise? Thank you!
Hi Chris, thank you for the video. I have one question, i use eyepiece projection method to take picture of moon, with my canon eos 600d dslr camera, eyepiece with known focal length, and telescope known focal length, can I use stellarium to estimate the frame can fit moon or not? Thank you.
Hey Hoaithanh. No that's not possible. For one reason: You can achieve focus on different positions. Only requirement: The two lens systems (camera & eye-piece) must be in such places that focus is achieved on the sensor. But altering the two of them will alter the apparent magnification.
The developer states:

This feature will not be implemented, as it can not, in any meaningfull way. With eyepiece projection, you'd need to know all kinds of stuff to get this correct, like distance from the eyepiece to the focal plane of the camera, the lens info, etc.
Don't use eyepiece projection. If you have a fixed-lens camera, this isn't the plugin for you.

Clear skies!!
Is there a way to change the time to read different that UTC? Also, going over adding a Lens to the 3rd tool bar would have been nice.
For me, Stellarium always states the time of the entered location. I think this is quite legit, because it doesn't make a lot of sense to view the sky on the location of A with the time of B ;-)
great video. so im curious - when a new comet is discovered, who creates that downloadable file with all the data of its orbital elements, and how accurate this data is?
Stellarium has a very huge fan base, so updated are made every other day.
The accuracy will probably depend on public survey data from real scientists working at NASA ESA etc.
Cheers!
when will you make the video showing how you incorporated your personal backyard, buildings etc? thanks
Good point - may do it as an in-between project. Clear skies dude!
@@catchingphotons 😃
Thanx for the great tutorial, can you please help with a link for a tutorial for photographers.
Daylight?
@@catchingphotons well, mainly for planning time-lapse so I can tell where sun or moon movement will be, ahead of time, maybe days ahead of actual shooting time.
I dont have the settings for your telescope and camera right above on the screen, how?
Do you use the desktop full version from:
stellarium.org/de/
I do not get all of those controls. Do I have to have a paid subscription?
Are you using PC version?
@@catchingphotons Yes and it's free.
