Things are moving along nicely with my planetarium software project. Some improvements since last post:-
- Constellation names are now being displayed and can be turned on and off.
- Constellation lines can be turned on or off.
- The local horizon can be turned on or off and can be displayed separately from the Alt/Az grid.
- The local meridian can be turned on or off (with 10 degree tick marks) and can be displayed separately from the Alt/Az grid.
- Zoom in and zoom out are enabled.
Following is a screen shot of Star Atlas looking south from Halifax at approx. 1:45 AM on December 29. The Local horizon (curved green line at the bottom) and the local meridian (vertical line, very faint in the screen capture, with the tick marks) are visible.
A beta release may soon be available for friends and family!
