Disable Satellites in Stellarium Web

[neilparker62]

Is it possible to disable satellite view ? There was an online video I saw which showed a second set of menu icions at the lower edge of the screen. I don't see those in the Stellarium web interface ?

As there are so many satellites now, this feature is really necessary, otherwise we'll soon not be able to see any stars.

Does the rendering of the fast moving satellites consume much CPU?

[gzotti]

Not the rendering, but of course the computation takes a few cycles. And yes, the upcoming tsunamis of tens of thousands of satellites may slow down the program.

The ability to disabld satelites is indeed necesary. It is awesome as they are implemented, but few mote thousnds (year?) And they will be disturbong more then enjoyable. Thanx a lot for awesome work

[gzotti]

Yes, satellite constellations are more disturbing than enjoyable. Especially on the real sky.
