simulated ocular and camera fields and framesĭuration: about 30 to 40 minutes, for the demonstration proper.time controls for now, next week, next year, last night.unobstrusive graphical interface and extensive keyboard control.simulated surroundings such as one's backyard with custom landscapes.planets and their satellites, the ecliptic.asterisms and illustrations of the constellations.constellations for over 20 different cultures around the world.images of DSOs (full Messier catalogue).some of the 80,000 to more than 1 million deep-sky objects.realistic coloured stars, showing between 600,000 and 200 million stars, including those with exoplanets.very realistic sky presentation, with our atmosphere, sunrises and sunsets, plus light pollution.Still we will show as much of its capability as possible. The webinar is meant to be light and fast. Stellarium for computers is feature-packed so we won't be able to cover everything. The Zoom webinar size is limited to 100 people. This is a webinar aimed at people interested in the Stellarium software, either completely new to the software, or with some limited exposure. We will briefly demonstrate and show the main features of Stellarium.Īn open question-and-answer period will follow. We are referring to the full, popular software program for Windows, Mac, or Linux. Educators, presenters, and outreach volunteers may use the software for demonstrations, presentations, and What's Up discussions. If logging observations, it be used to corroborate and confirm celestial objects seen. The free computer software can be used to learn the sky and plan astronomical observing sessions. Stellarium is a surprisingly powerful planetarium application available for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux computers. We'll briefly show some of the commonly-used features and then take questions. The computer application is surprisingly rich and powerful. This online dedicated webinar is meant to show what the Stellarium planetarium software can do. What is Stellarium anyway? What can it do? How is it to use? What does it look like? Can I drive my telescope? Attend the webinar to find out.
