Doc Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 During February, Comet C/2009 P1 (Garradd) shines at seventh magnitude and glides through Hercules and Draco before entering Ursa Minor. It passes less than one degree from the globular cluster M92 on February 2 and February 3. Visit http://cometchasing.skyhound.com/ for additional information on comets visible in February.

Guest Tweedledum Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 For those of you with Stellarium below is the text that you need to cut & paste into SSYSTEM.INI in the stellariumdata folder. This will enable you to track if you have a goto mount or make it easier to locate Manually. [Garradd] name = C/2009 P1 (Garradd) parent = Sun radius = 80 oblateness = 0.0 halo = true color = 1.0,1.0,1.0 tex_halo = star16x16.png tex_map = nomap.png coord_func = comet_orbit orbit_TimeAtPericenter = 2455919.1863 orbit_PericenterDistance = 1.550778 orbit_Eccentricity = 1.000901 orbit_ArgOfPericenter = 90.7398 orbit_AscendingNode = 325.9957 orbit_Inclination = 106.1893 lighting = false albedo = 1 orbit_visualization_period = 365.25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Do you just open the system.ini file with notepad and then paste the text at the bottom of all the other text Damian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hi There, It is the SSystem.ini and put in the middle. You may need to use wordpad, sometime notepad does not pick up word wrap properly. It should read pretty much like my script. Any probs drop me a pm with your version of stellarium & I'll send you the .ini file. Cheers. Ps it will be great around 23.30-01.30 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
