Hallo Starry Night 5 (pro, pro+) Besitzer,
seit Freitag gibt es ein kostenloses Update auf 5.7! Nach vielen Versuchen (der Server ist total überlastet), habe ich endlich das Update durchführen können. Hier noch ein Ausschnitt aus der Beschreibung:
----- snip -----
NEW, Version 5.7.0!
New Features:
[] Space Missions (Probe Paths). Users can now see the paths of historical space probes.
[] 3D object models. Any Solar-System object can now be drawn as a 3D object (3DS models.)
[] Planner now autofills with interesting (bright) objects for every day.
[] Planner now has options for minimum altitude and visibility hours.
[] Ephemeris generator now allows a minimum altitude to be set (no longer just "above horizon.)
[] Nebula Outlines (Pro Plus Only.)
[] Locations updated and are now searchable by country, province/state as well as location "type." (e.g. Observatories.)
[] Zip and Postal Code lookup for Lat/Long.
[] Users can now access up-to-date local observing conditions through the online Clear Sky Clock in the "Status" panel.
[] Google Map any location on Earth through the context menu.
[] Focuser support (Windows, Pro and Pro Plus only.)
[] Improved Digital Setting Circles support.
[] FOVs can now be rotated directly onscreen.
[] Zenith button added to toolbar.
Bug Fixes:
[] Ephemeris generator time controls fixed on Windows.
[] Searching for objects now ignores whitespace for all search types except "Is Exactly." (i.e. Can now type "M 82" or "M82" and get same results.)
[] Searching for HIP and TYC stars fixed.
[] Rise and set times for distant future/past now report correctly.
[] Atmospheric refraction no longer applied to reported RA and Dec in info panel.
[] Night Vision no longer turns off when the Preference Panel is opened.
[] Minimum necessary video memory warning issues now fixed. (Windows, Pro Plus.)
[] Improved AllSky image load-times (Mac, Pro Plus.)
[] Disabled 'Hide Horizon' option removed from Enthusiast menu. Enthusiast does not offer this feature.
[] Fixed incorrect location display in Lunar and Solar events in Calendar.
[] Added text to indicate that calendar event dates/times are in UTC.
[] Now goes to correct date when double-clicking a day in the calendar. (Previously went to the moon transit time, which could be a day earlier.)
[] Plannner user interface cleaned up. Renamed planner "sessions" to "Observing Plans" more easily understandable.
[] Equipment FOVs on/off state now saved between runs.
[] Many more minor fixes. (Thanks for your reports!)

In der Mailingliste wurde neben den Problemen mit derm Update-Programm und der Serverlast im Wesentlichen die Downloadgröße bemängelt. Der größte Batzen macht nämlich das Zip-Code-Verzeichnus der USA aus, was kein Mensch außerhalb der USA braucht. Außerdem seien die Daten nicht gezippt. <img src="/phpapps/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mauer.gif" alt="" /> Vereinzelt wurden auch Probleme mit der Darstellung beschrieben, dass Objekte, die man zentriert habe, anfingen zu hüpfen. Dies scheint nur dann aufzutreten, wenn man SN ohne OpenGl verwendet. (Ich konnte es nicht beobachten.)Es wird sicherlich nicht lange dauern, bis 5.7.1 auf dem Server liegt.
Viele Grüße,
Bernd.
