Comet database
That
work the same way as for the Asteroids, see Version 3 alpha

If you already
create the asteroid database please click the "Create
Database" button again to upgrade.
A sample data file
(now in data/planet directory) load the currently visible
comet. |

http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/Ephemerides/Comets/SoftwareComets.html
get the MPC Format file. On Windows be sure to convert

Object label.
About
the same principle as in v2.75, using Greek letter for the
Bright Stars. But you can now move the label or edit the
text by using a right mouse click to any label. A left
mouse click give you the detailed information about the
object. The changed label are saved to the default option
or the saved chart. |

Printing
Printer
selection menu now offer the choice to print directly to a
real printer or to produce file in Postscript or BMP format.
This give high resolution image of the chart, also with
the same aspect as on the screen. You can set an
application to immediately process or print the image.
There is a new option to use the apparent coordinate
instead of the mean coordinates. This apply correction for
both the nutation and abberation to get the precise Earth
related position.
Many default option have changed,
some to correct bug or imprecision, so I recommand you delete
(or copy to a safe place) the file .cartesduciel.ini before to
run this version. |
