System Requirements:

  • Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7; Linux/Unix; MacOS X 10.3.x or greater.
  • A 3D graphics card with a support for OpenGL.
  • A dark room for realistic rendering – details like the Milky Way or star twinkling
    can?t be seen in a bright room.

New Features in version 0.10.4:

  • Disable OpenGL shaders by default for stars and atmosphere. User activate it by setting use_glshaders = true in the [main] section of the config.ini
  • Fixed the handling of the Qt -graphicssystem parameter. Now it is ignored if it is not used properly.
