Cartes du ciel skychart picture package install#

I was trying to install my old favorite astronomy program, xplns (which is only available in binary format). Subject: Unable to install xplns on Gutsy Works without any problems.good to get an old friend back! Upon running, Xplns refuses to start, citing missing character sets. I downloaded the rpms from (pls note that Xplns is free for use, but not Open Source), converted them to.

I would like to report success in installing and running Xplns (one of the finest astronomy software that I've used) on Jaunty. I had posted the following comment on UbuntuForums (unfortunately, that thread is now read-only, which is why I am posting here). A few quick shots of M42, Rosette with the H-alpha, a search for Comet Holmes.then the clouds returned. :)įinally had a clear night last night and was able to use the observatory for the first time in many months. Took a while to get it all running, but I love it.

I DID pay full price, so let me use the damn thing! Argggh! I do that all the time, and it does make me irate that Microsoft won't trust loyal customers with their software. I know how you feel about messing with computers. Have you tried running VNC with it? I've had excellent luck with that, and best of all it's free. I can get it all up and imaging, then run into the warm house and control it from there - on my Ubuntu machine with Vncviewer. I have XP in my observatory with VNC running on it. I hope it's me that's doing something wrong and not Wine I was hoping to 100% success running under wine but that's not the case. I took one of my old computers and wiped off windoz and am using it for a test bed. That makes me real mad as I like to mess with my computers and other hardware. The problem was that every time I messed with a computer, Windoz would think I was trying to steal it and would make me re-register it. They would all be connected to the warm room to the main computer with PCAnywhere. It was my original intention to have 3 small old computers running XP in the observatory to run the mount (ME) and dome, the camera (FLI) and guider. Now, how do I convince people that this superb app deserves to be in the repositories? Sudo mv sky2000 /usr/share/apps/skychart/cat Move the folder and text file to //usr/share/apps/skychart/cat using (for instance, for the Sky 2000 star catalogue down to mag 9)

Unpack the zip file and you will find a folder with the star position data and a text file. zip files from the sourceforge site above. You can add star catalogs by downloading them as. The basic program comes with the Yale Bright Star catalogue. Having previously downloaded skychart_3.0.1.2-1_b from the source forge page for the project at I installed Sk圜hart (Cartes Du Ciel) on a xubuntu + OpenOffice2 and Inkscape as follows. It needs a library called libgdk-pixbuf2. I'm bumping this one: there is now (Jan 2007) a. I'm trying to decide how hard it is to get it installed. Use a snapshot more recent than skychart-3.7-2252 to build an index more than 2GB in size.The beta version of cartes du ciel 3 is available for linux. If you use Linux or Mac OS, be sure to read the specific notes in the Catgen documentation page. You can start by loading the project file used for the standard catalog. Then use Catgen to convert the text files to a binary catalog optimized for chart display. The -cddir option must point to the folder containing u4b/, not the individual data files. Run the program in a console to show the syntax help.

You can download u4conv for Windows and Linux or get the source code. It also remove the streak by using the file streaklist.txt. The advantage of u4conv is it process all the files at a time, add the star identifier, a selected magnitude and the color index after the other data. Then convert the binary data on the DVD to ASCII text files using the include u4dump program or my u4conv program. See USNO UCAC page for more information and to get the script required to correct the binary data. You must first copy the DVD content to your disk to correct for the error with the high proper motion stars. This allow you to include more or less information for each star depending on your needs. If you have a copy of the UCAC4 DVD, or if you download the full u4b folder from the CDS or a web mirror, you can use Catgen to build your own catalog from the original data files.
