Tweedledee Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I'm struggling to install Stellarium in LinuxMint. I have tried to follow the instructions on the Stellarium website. The thing that is stopping me is where to find a Personal Package Archive and what to do with it. These things are mentioned in the instructions but there is no elaboration. Perhaps someone knows about this and can advise me. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Neither 32 or 64 bit works on my Win 8 Laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Got it working in W7. I like the button to switch off nebula images. Been wanting to see that implemented for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teslar Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 But does it play any better with skywatcher mounts? Can believe it still relies on a third party hack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ely Ellis Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Got it the other day, used it last night. Noticed the info text at the top left is in a different font, a bit easier to read for me. Also noticed a small angle thing, for measuring, don't remember that being there before, could come in handy though. I will eventually wade through it, see what other things have improved. Oh, using it on Win7, no problems. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The angle thing is very useful but has been available in previous versions - if you enabled it. I think the version 12 one goes an extra few decimal places of accuracy though. Object searching facilities seem to be slightly improved. As Daz pointed out, the shadows on planet surfaces will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
