Subject: trouble with Cartes du Ciel version 3.0.1.2 beta
|
Just downloaded and installed Cartes du Ciel version 3.0.1.2 beta along with
the catalog. I can't get anything to appear on the charts other than the
brightest stars and planets. I've tried adjusting the configuration and
clicked on and off the menu at the top, but I can't get anything else to
appear. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Art

Hi:
If you at least got the "base catalog" it should work. If you have a
broadband connection to the internet, I'd go ahead and get everything
from the get-go, however. If you're still havin' problems, again, sign
up for the Skycharts Discussion Yahoogroup.

Got it! I wasn't installing the base catalog, figuring the program itself
already had a built-in catalog. I don't recall the earlier version I had
having a separate install for a catalog, but it's been so long ago that I
forget. Anyway, thanks, a big help in the right direction and I already see
the DSOs as FIT images since I downloaded that before.
Thanks again,
Art

Thanks for this thread. Just downloaded about 100mb of stuff. Can't
seem to get the program to talk to the catalogs. Where are the
cataglogs suppose to be? In Program Files\Ciel or somewhere else.
Can't find much documetation...and I ain't gonna join Yahoo, maybe I'm
SOL?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
Take Care
Steve

Hi,
The catalogs are a separate download. Each one in zip format has to be
unzipped to your Ciel directory. Install the Ceil program first and then
unzip the required base catalog to the Ciel folder. The base catalog seems
to be the only one required.
I too downloaded all of the other catalogs and unzipped them to the Ciel
folder. You'll need to enable the catalog or catalogs you want to use in
the Ciel configuration. Honestly, I'm finding that the additional catalogs
interfere with one another if all enabled at once so I guess its best to
enable only one or two at a time.
If starting over again, I would have just downloaded the required base
catalog and the pictures from the 3rd category down on the website. You can
just double click on the pictures exe file and it will auto install. Neat
to be able to see nearly 10,000 DSOs in FITS format, and right on the chart
to boot.
Good luck,
Art

Art:
Thanks, been able to get bsc and tycho2 to work together. That's cool
as I'm used to the Greek for the constellation stars.
No galaxies or nebula yet, have to keep fooling with it I guess.
I'm an H-B fan all the way, love that atlas. Can't see this ever
replacing it for DSO's, but it is nice for solar system stuff.
Thanks!

Hi:
If you're sure you've downloaded everything (I recommend the complete
package), and have the configuration settings correct, you might want
to join the Skycharts Yahoo group. Patrick C. hangs our there, and
will be glad to help you as will all the other folks. I just installed
the latest beta, by the way, and had no trouble with it...I'm thinkin'
it's pretty much ready for prime time.

Rod,
Thanks for your reply. When you say the "complete package", are you
referring to the five files listed under it? I downloaded only the Win exe
file along with the first catalog, so maybe I didn't download enough.
Thanks,
Art

I don't know Cartes du Ciel myself, but I know several other frequent
posters do use it, so help is probably on the way; in the meantime there
are at least two Yahoo groups dedicates to the software:
"skychart-discussion"
"skychart"
