STELLARIUM(1)STELLARIUM(1)NAMEstellarium - A real-time realistic planetarium
SYNOPSISstellarium [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
Stellarium is a free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real
time with OpenGL. It is available for Linux/Unix, Windows and MacOSX.
With Stellarium, you really see what you can see with your eyes,
binoculars or a small telescope.
OPTIONS-v, --version
Print program name and version and exit.
-h, --help
Print a brief synopsis of program options and exit.
--safe-mode
Do not use OpenGL2 features (such as shaders). Useful on systems
that report support for OpenGL 2, but its implementation is buggy.
Used as a work-around for the "broken fonts" bug.
-c, --config-file file
Use file for the config filename instead of the default config.ini.
-u, --user-dir dir
Use dir instead of the default user data directory
($HOME/.stellarium/ on *nix operating systems).
-f, --full-screen yes|no
With argument yes or no over-rides the full screen setting in the
config file. The setting is saved in the config-file and as such
will be the default for subsequent invocations of Stellarium.
--screenshot-dir dir
Set the directory into which screenshots will be saved to dir,
instead of the default (which is $HOME on *nix operating systems).
--home-planet planet-name
Specify observer planet. planet-name is an English name, and should
refer to an object defined in the ssystem.ini file.
--altitude alt
Specify the initial observer altitude, where alt is the altitude in
meters.
--longitude lon
Specify the initial observer longitude, where lon is the longitude.
The format is illustrated by this example: +4d16'12" which refers
to 4 degrees, 16 minutes and 12 arc seconds East. Westerly
longitudes should be prefixed with "-".
--latitude lat
Specify the initial observer latitude, where lat is the latitude.
The format is illustrated by this example: +53d58'16.65" which
refers to 53 degrees, 58 minutes and 16.65 arc seconds North.
Southerly latitudes should be prefixed with "-".
--list-landscapes
Print a list of landscape names and exit.
--landscape name
Start Stellarium using landscape name. Refer to --list-landscapes
for possible names.
--sky-date date
Specify sky date in format yyyymmdd.
--sky-time time
Specify sky time in format hh:mm:ss.
--fov fov
Specify the field of view (fov degrees).
--projection-type p
Specify projection type, p. Permitted values of p are: equalarea,
stereographic, fisheye, cylinder, mercator, perspective, and
orthographic.
RETURN VALUE

Note: file locations on non-*nix operating systems (include OSX) may
vary. Please refer to the Stellarium User Guide for more details, as
well as information on how to customise the Stellarium data files.
/usr/local/share/stellarium/
This is the Installation Data Directory set at compile-time.
$HOME/.stellarium/
This is the User Data Directory, which may be over-ridden using
command line option -u. It contains the user's settings, extra
landscapes, scripts, and can also be used to over-ride data files
which are provided with the default install.
$HOME/.stellarium/config.ini
The default main configuration file is config.ini. Refer to -c
above to use a different filename and to -u to use a different User
Data Directory.
$HOME/
