Choosing a Star
Contents
>> To select an individual star
Do either of the following...
•Select a star from the Star List - If it is not visible on the currently displayed hemisphere, then you will hear a beep. If the selected star is visible on the current display, then it will be highlighted.
or...
•Click somewhere on the displayed sphere - The nearest star to where you clicked will then be highlighted in the list of stars. This is especially useful if you wish to find the nearest star to a planet in the chart - to do this, all you need do is click on the planet symbol.
When the star is highlighted, it becomes brighter than the other stars, and expanding and contracting rings will be shown around it for a few seconds to help you locate it. Also, the constellation in which that star resides will appear in the Constellation list box.
