Hallo all!

Is there a way to have Starry Night software interact with boinc? It worked greatly with S@h classic, but doesn't seem to cope with boinc.

thank you, TLG

I agree. I have Starry Night Pro 5 and it's a nice and quite realistic astronomy program.

One of the features is a "spaceship" mode where you can "fly" to anyplace supported by the program (at least 700 million light years). And yes, you can exceed the speed of light!

I would think the Starry Night people would benefit quite a bit in increased sales by catering to us Seti folks. A new or modified plugin would be necessary, but the program already can update satellite and asteroid data. Adding the locations of a Seti WU's should pose much of a challenge (for the Starry Night programmers).

Well, the 4.5 plugin really was great, showing the area covered by your actual WU, and datas about the WU itself (cpu time, peaks, triplets, and usual stuff).
Unfortunately I'm not a programmer, but I really hope someone will try adapting the old plugin to the new S@h.
