Hello, everyone! 🙌 I recently discovered a super cool script for Stellarium and wanted to share it with the world! 🌌
This script displays all Messier objects in the night sky with their positions and names (labels)! 🤩 I use it every time I want to plan my stargazing sessions and decide which Messier object to photograph on a particular night. It's been a nice companion for my astrophotography journey! 📸
How to Use the Script:
Why This Script is Useful: This script is a nice tool for both beginners and experienced astronomers. It helps you:
include("i18n.inc");
include("common_objects.inc");
LabelMgr.deleteAllLabels();
MarkerMgr.deleteAllMarkers();
var objName = ["M45","M74","M77","M31","M32","M110","M33","M76","M52","M103",
"M34","M79","M42","M43","M78","M1","M41","M93","M47","M46",
"M50","M48","M35","M37","M36","M38","M95","M96","M105","M65",
"M66","M101","M63","M51","M94","M102","M3","M64","M53","M59",
"M60","M87","M89","M90","M58","M84","M86","M88","M91","M98",
"M99","M100","M85","M49","M61","M104","M68","M44","M83","M67",
"M5","M13","M92","M57","M56","M29","M39","M27","M71","M107",
"M12","M10","M14","M9","M4","M80","M19","M62","M11","M26",
"M16","M17","M18","M24","M81","M82","M23","M21","M20","M8",
"M25","M28","M22","M69","M70","M54","M55","M75","M6","M7",
"M15","M2","M72","M73","M97","M108","M40","M106","M109","M30"];
for (let i = 0; i < objName.length; i++) {
LabelMgr.labelObject(objName[i], objName[i], true, 14, "#ff0000", "E", -1.0, "TextOnly", false, 0);
}
After that, just hit the run button and you are good to go! 😀
