We are looking for telescope users with programming skills to help us fixing this issue. It seems the Telescope Control plugin at least on Windows works better in the Qt5-based releases.

Added Chinese and Bahai calendars (Calendars plugin)īehind the scenes, several minor issues were fixed.

Added Modern (IAU), Tikuna and Seri sky cultures.

Improved rendering of Milky Way, Zodiacal Light and landscapes.

New projection: Equirectangular (fills the screen).

This release mostly aimed at fixing issues but also brought a few new features: The Stellarium Team has released version 1.2. The program can be controlled via the command line and has a built-in scripting engine - scripts for it you can download from a special repository.The installers are located in the 'Assets' section at the end of these release notes! Stellarium supports a variety of plugins that allow you to display artificial satellites, control a virtual telescope, etc. The program provides the widest possibilities for setting up a virtual planetarium - you have the ability to customize landscapes and transparency of the atmosphere, add images of nebulae, use the wide-angle lens 'fisheye' and much more. In addition, you can enable azimuth and equatorial mesh display, adjust star blinking, emulate eclipses and supernovae. The program is able to display sunsets and dawns, the moon and the solar system, meteors, the Milky Way and other objects that you can see in the real sky. The panorama of the starry sky is displayed in a realistic way, based on the geographical coordinates you have entered and the time of day. You can also download additional catalogues that include more than 200 million stars in total. The Stellarium comes with a catalogue containing about 600,000 stars. By installing this application on your computer, you will be able to observe the starry sky, approaching and removing objects on it. Stellarium is a virtual 3D planetarium program.
