Stellarium N9 0.3.6
Update 24.7.2013:
0.3.6 is now available; changes: * honors sky_locale / app_locale settings in ~/.stellarium-n9/config.ini (no GUI yet, it only works for locales supported by the device) -------- Hello! Stellarium N9 0.3.5 is now available for download at http://thelarge.org/stellarium-n9 . This release brings a custom algorithm for better filtering when in freelook mode. I tried several techniques and I guess there are limitations on what can be done without a gyroscope, but overall, I am quite pleased with the results. I'd recommend trying the free look mode together with turning off all the labels, the ground and the atmosphere for a perfect space-walk feeling, zooming around clusters, nebuale and all the star stuff that is out there. There is also a handful of minor fixes and additions: a new startup page, icon, fixed date time format and a button for clearing selection. Most likely there are also new bugs that I am not yet aware of. :) Happy holiday season. Cheers, Marko --- Stellarium N9 is a free open source planetarium software for Nokia N9 that shows exactly what you see when you look up at the stars. It is a port of the awesome Stellarium (version 0.11.4). To avoid confusion, please note, that Stellarium N9 is not in any way associated with Stellarium app (by Elemental) that is available in Nokia OVI store. N9 Specific Features

Re: Stellarium N9 0.3.3
This version is much more finger friendly (UI is touch optimised).

Re: Stellarium N9 0.3.3
This is awesome, probably the app I miss most on the N9. It's great to have a properly functional sky viewing app.
1. I notice location settings can only be set by searching. Would it possible to get it using GPS? 2. In the free look mode, when you search for an object, it doesn't do anything. Can you disable free look for, pan to the searched object, and then enable free look on say a screen tap? Alternately, put arrows on the sides of the screen to indicate which way to look to find the object? Also, kudos on making it open source. Donated and thanks! |

ad 2: Yeah, freelook overriedes all other things that would move the viewport. The design you describe, seems like a very good idea, however it is not trivial to implement and there would be quite some work involved. But I'll keep your suggeststion in mind if I get on with this kind of modifications. As an alternative solution to help you locating the objetcs, you could turn on the constelation lines and labels and then navigate by eye. ;) Thanks :) |
Re: Stellarium N9 0.3.3
Would it be possible to have a full-screen mode that makes the button bar and most of the other info disappear? I'd vote for only showing FOV (which is useful info) and a back-button in a corner.
edit: or put a switch in the menu and show menu button and FOV only. |
In case you look for some new features, here's an idea ..
Two finger rotation to forward/rewind time :) |

Is anyone else having a problem installing version 0.3.3? I am getting a gzip error and would appreciate any advice.
I have attached the screenshot of the failed install attempt . Happy New Year! EDIT: SOLVED. I erased both versions (0.3.2 and 0.3.3); I rebooted; and then I reinstalled version 0.3.2. and then version 0.3.3. Attachment 30419 |

Re: Stellarium N9 0.3.3
I noticed you've made 0.3.5 :) Any changelog?
|
The new version 0.3.5 is so awesome! Check out the Garching landscape--you'll be happy you did. Absolutely beautiful.

Re: Stellarium N9 0.3.3
Hi,
yes 0.3.5 is out. What's new? Some bugfixes, location editing, saving, updating coordinates from device position (GPS). HUD tweaks: transparency, night mode. I'm trying to submit the app to OVI store, but I keep getting reports that the app crashes on what seems to be a pre PR1.3 firmware. I guess there is not much chance that anyone on this forum has PR1.1 or PR1.2 to test this and report a console output? Cheers, Marko |
Hello Marko,
If you are using Meego Qt components like infobanner, it makes app incompatible with PR 1.1 and below. If you can mail developee support about the problem and ask them to pass only for PR1.2 and 1.3 then it'd be alright. Also include the compatibility note in description in store. I believe no one uses PR 1.1 now :) Cheers, Bibek |
Re: Stellarium N9 0.3.5
Thank you so much for this. It's the one app I was really missing :)
|
Re: Stellarium N9 0.3.5
Stellarium N9 is now available in OVI store as a paid app. Up-to-date binaries and sources are to remain available free of charge on my website. Both versions are identical.
Cheers, Marko |
Re: Stellarium N9 0.3.5
I don't get this app.
I allways need to see the view from pre-set landscape, like some small town in france or the moon? I can't get the view from my own city as it always wants to use pre-set landscapes? To my understanding this is not "exactly as you see when you look at the stars" What comes to the usability and working of the app; Really nice job from the dev |

The positions of the stars, however, are not determined by landscape, but by location (its longitude, latitude and elevation). This is what is meant by "exactly what you see when you look at the stars": the positions of the stars in the sky (at a given time and location) should match the ones you actually see in real life. If you are lucky enough not to have too much light pollution. :) |
Re: Stellarium N9 0.3.6
0.3.6 is now available, which fixes a bug of not honoring locale settings in config.ini .
