#Starry night pro vs how to
I did find out how to change the name of my current viewing location, which defaulted to "Near Mount Lemmon IR Observatory, USA" since I manually entered my Lat/Long on initial startup. I hope these Side Pane problems are corrected in a future update.Īnd speaking of the Status view, that is the only place where you can find your saved Home location information to confirm you entered it correctly on the first program launch. You can choose to hide the Side Pane, however that state is not saved to the default and the Side Pane reappears on the next launch. Unfortunately, if you move and resize the Status window, its new location is not saved when you save a new "default". That section is not something I will frequently use, so having it take up screen space (even on my iMac 27”) is annoying.Ī handy "Status" window is available in the menu of the Side Pane: Also, the expanded/collapsed state of "Explore Starry Night" at the very top is NOT saved when you save the program settings to a new "default" file. You can collapse major sections, but you can not remove or rearrange the order of items in the Side Pane, which when expanded is very long and requires a scroll to see it all. The top portion of the Side Pane is seen here: The Side Pane displays a lot of useful information and some that is less useful (to me). Once I had Starry Night initially configured for my use, I began exploring the program. You can also save settings files for specific purposes and load those settings when you need them. Once I had set all these configurations, I saved a new "default" settings file.
#Starry night pro vs pro
I went through many dialog boxes and options displays which are located in many different (but logical) places in the program before I had Starry Night Pro Plus configured based on how I have used other desktop planetarium programs. If you want the changes to be applied on every launch of the program you have to explicitly save the changes as a new "default". They are specific to just that session with the program. When making changes to the various settings, it is important to remember that these changes are NOT automatically saved. The reason I suggest this is that Starry Night Pro and Pro Plus are very powerful programs with so many features and capabilities that it may be awhile before the user needs to use some of the more advanced features. Most users may just want to do some initial setups for some of information, deferring other configuring until actually using those parts of the program. Starry Night has many user-configurable settings that control what information is displayed and how that information is displayed.
There are missing checkboxes at the top which only appear if you mouseover the blank area: I did discover a bug when setting the HUD (Heads Up Display) preference: Next, I modified a few of the various settings and looks.
The text "Near Mount Lemmon IR Observatory, USA" is still showing even though I selected to View From my Home location. The horizon is still using the default and the Side Pane (on the right) is still showing its default views. Upon launch this is the default look that comes up, as seen on my iMac 27":
