Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to use kstars via a projector in order to create a realistic sky map of the day of her birth in her room. I've resolved most of the technical problems involved (I still need to pick the correct projection type and figure out how to position the projector completely vertical), but there is another problem I'm facing. In its default mode, kstars simply displays too many stars.<br>
<br>
When you click it in order to move the display around, it shows just the major stars, and that view has about the right amount of stars for us to paint on the ceiling and walls, but when stationary, there are simply too many stars in the view.<br>
<br>
I've tried to find a way to limit the view to "only the most bright stars", to no avail.<br>
<br>
If anyone has any idea (an idea that recommends a different program is also okay), please say so.<br>
<br>
Shachar<br>
