Setting your visible sky area allows you to specify whether you are observing from a city, a suburb, or the countryside. You can also limit your telescope's movements based on your location, which can be useful if you want to prevent the telescope from pointing at objects blocked by a wall or other obstacles.
Note: The Position settings are now located in the Location category of the settings.
You can access the settings for your visible sky area in two ways:
- from the Settings menu , then the Visible Sky Area category
- from the Planetarium settings button at the bottom left of the home screen, then by tapping the Edit button
You can choose to enable or disable the visible sky area:
Environment settings
Here, you can select your observation location: city, suburbs, or countryside. This selection affects the list of objects in the catalog according to the brightness of your night sky.
Note : Please note that faint objects are only visible in the catalog when countryside is selected. These objects usually require longer exposure times and good sky quality with little light pollution.
Limit your telescope's movements
You can limit your telescope's movements based on the location where you observe. This feature can be useful if you want to prevent the telescope from pointing at objects blocked by a wall or other obstacles.
To do this, adjust the handlers to limit the telescope's rotation in altitude and azimuth. The blue area indicates the telescope's range of motion.
By adjusting the azimuth and altitude, you will see a view of the visible sky area in your planetarium.
