For example, you could store an object with a date and time attached and/or a location attached. The bookmarks feature proper offered a number of useful features. We've had to drop the topic from our Stellarium training courses.Įverything was working well up to Stellarium version 0.21.1. We were excitedly building observing lists and they don't work now. There are good things happening with Stellarium but some troublesome bugs of late.Ĭhris and I are very upset with the breaking of the bookmarks feature. He was glad to hear they were working on it "with some urgency." He replied at 12:31 PM, "That's good to know."Īnd I updated Ian. Users can still add comets but not by using the Online search tab.ġ0:32 AM, I captured the LOG.TXT file from the Stellarium instance and posted that for the developers to noodle on.Ī couple hours later, a good message rolled in from GitHub: The failure of the Online search breaks the normal function in the Import data window. A restart of Stellarium presents the Lists tab normally and in fact a comet can be found by this means. If I try Online search, after it fails, I cannot use the Lists tab.

Īt 10:23 AM, I posted a request on the Stellarium Classroom, asking for help in testing the bug. In the morning, I spotted another GitHub message, this time from Alexander W. Of course, in some specific cases we need more data, but we ask the required data separately. The hardware info, steps of reproduction and log file are really important and help us resolve over 90% issues fast. It works fine.Īt 23:41, someone (or a bot) on GitHub responded. So I created a issue ticket with some quick notes.Īt the end of the course, after 9:00 PM, during the social and Q&A, I offered to show another method, the List method. I jumped into GitHub and looked for a bug report. It was not working for any of us running the latest version 0.21.3. Some of the class participants reported success so it was not my first suspicion that the MPC server was down.

I did notice the progress bar briefly flashing at the bottom-right but with the value 0%.
#STELLARIUM FOR MAC OS 10.12 WINDOWS#
I tried it immediately on my Windows machine. Normally-assuming you use the official designation, correct syntax and case-a suggested entry will appear that you can then select to add to the database of solar system objects. While observing the level 2 course yesterday, as Ian walked through the process of adding a comet by using the Online search feature, I saw right away something was not working right.
