v24.1 Notes

  • Windows 10/11 dark mode compatibility has been adjusted.
  • Added summer and winter time correction, taking into account daylight saving time. All timezones added.
  • Pecaut&Mamajek's EEM_dwarf_UBVIJHK_colors_Teff table has been added to the software, and you can find the appropriate color index values from this table, and view the star parameters depending on this table according to the color indexes of each star selected in the search results. Please note that this applies to main sequence stars.
  • Improved the FOV display in search results. You can show all the objects in the Simbad, 2MASS and Gaia DR3 results on the FOV screen, and when you click on the marked objects on the image, the object is marked in the table in the relevant catalog.
  • Necessary adjustments were made to make the simbad search results in the object visibility section more readable.
  • Ubuntu version added.

The program is compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11, as well as Ubuntu 22.04+. The program currently has a ZIP extension. Installation version will be added soon. After downloading the ZIP, extract the archive and run AstroObserverPlan.exe (Windows).

Instructions to run on Ubuntu: Follow the necessary steps to make it work in two different window managers: x11 and wayland.
Our suggestion is to run the software in x11 window manager for now to avoid any problems.

  • Open the terminal and enter the following command.

    sudo apt install libxcb-*

  • After the installation is completed, right-click on the AstroObserverPlan.tar.gz file and click extract.

  • Alternatively, open a terminal where the AstroObserverPlan.tar.gz archive is located and enter the following command:

    tar -xvf AstroObserverPlan.tar.gz

  • After the extraction process is completed, enter the folder and right-click on AstroObserverPlan. "Executable as Program" at the bottom of the window should be checked or open. After this stage, you can run the program by double-clicking on AstroObserverPlan.

  • Alternatively, go into the AstroObserverPlan folder, right-click on an empty area and click "Open in terminal". You can open the program by typing ./AstroObserverPlan into the terminal.
