All, I'm having trouble orienting myself sometimes with zoomed in skycharts. Sometimes views get rotated and I'd like them straightened so it's easier to see...
Hi Sander, 1) View>Tool Bar>Left Bar. Click on the Az icon. 4) Yes, please raise a request. Regards Peter ... From: skychart-discussion@yahoogroups.com ...
Hi Sander, Yes. In v2.76, it's still the left tool bar, but this time choose the fourth icon from bottom, Projections. In the Chart Orientation frame, click on...
Hi Peter, OK, I actually looked at that dialog but it doesn't seem to do what I want it to do :-) I'm already in Zenithal projection. What I'd like to do is...
Sander, It looks like from your sketch that you are try to get north up, if that the case then just switch to polar projections. Keep in mind that zenithal...
Bob, I am actually trying to get Z up. It's just that it's easy to navigate in CdC and end up with Z to the side. I understand that Z projection is a function...
When using polar projection, north is usually up, and in alt-az (zenithal) projection, the horizon is down, but I've run into situations when switching back...
John, I was about to answer my own email (bad netiquette) so thanks for responding. I noticed that in polar projection north is indeed always up (at least the...
Weird. Now I can't reproduce that behavior. Since I do software and hardware testing for a living I can't really stand not being able to reproduce scenarios I...
I'm having the same problem. I ran into the skewed chart problem a few days ago (first time I noticed it). At the time I wasn't doing anything important so I...
Has anyone got SkyChart 3v install on a non-rpm system? I'm having abit a a problem install it on gentoo. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. -- bruce...
Hi, Please check if the file Ciel\data\constellation\constlabel.cla exist. Also look at the file My Documents\Cartes du Ciel\cartesduciel.ini search for...
Yes I miss to link this files from the download page. From http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64092 You can find tar.gz file you can install...
Hi Patrick, yes, the file exists and I was pretty sure I pointed Ciel 3 at it. However the config file still contained lots of references to a directory Ciel3 ...
Hi Sander, Ok, the problem is because you move the install directory. I will add some code to test if each file is not found at the specified location to try...
I think it is yahhoo being flakey. Lots of people are reporting that yahoo does things. People wonder how I post long urls to yahoo groups. I just don't depend...
It has nothing to do with the mailer. Perhaps the format you send it in makes a difference. It defaults to HTML for me but perhaps plain text works better....
Hi The ground has disappeared from Cartes Du Ciel and I can't seem to get it back - I've checked all the options and changed the colour to see if that works...
Do you mean it's now drawing the entire sky and no longer blanking out whatever is below the horizon? I've checked in 2.76 and I can't find an option to enable...
The ground does not show in polar (equatorial) mode. Click the icon in the middle of the right toolbar that has the two blue arrows on it to toggle from polar...
Click on the "Chart Appearances" toolbar button or menu Preferences > Chart Appearances. At the bottom you'll see an option to make the stuff below the horizon...
I had the "invisible" feature backwards. It has to be off to make the stars show through. The ground will be semi-transparent, so if you select black color...
... "Polar" is the same as "equatorial", and doesn't show the horizon. Alt-az, or "zenithal", shows the horizon. -John ... __________________________________ ...
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I was in 'polar projection' so I changed it to 'zenithal projection'. In Preferences->Chart Appearance the 'Invisible'...
