This is the resulting graph (highly reduced): I added the two planets to the graph and changed to view their separations: I selected to graph Separations to see the angular separation between Venus and Mercury, which I knew would be a little less than 1 degree on 10 January 2015 (the date I was graphing it). This (highly reduced) graph is showing the altitude of the Moon and Sun over time: Starry Night Pro Plus can graph lots of data to see how the values change over time:
Unfortunately, there is no "Event Options" visible, nor is there any alternative way to get the described settings dialog boxes to appear, so I was not able to configure what events I would like displayed. The Guide also says you can click "Event Options" above the list of events to set various filters of events to be displayed. Chapter 7 of the Guide says that "Events" can be chosen by using the Panes Shortcut menu, but I don't see "Events" in the window that appears:įortunately, as the Guide says, typing "events" in the search field will show the Events pane. There are some discrepanies in the Users Guide vs version 7.1.2 of Starry Night Pro Plus. These are what appeared in the Side Pane for the day I was working on this review: The events can be rise/set times of various objects, times of Jovian moon events (transits, etc), lunar phases, eclipses, meteor showers, etc. The Side Pane can show astronomical events.
I'll discuss some of the tools in Starry Night that I found useful. Many desktop planetarium programs have useful tools beyond just showing you how the sky appears at various dates/times.
