﻿canrooska-row-poly : Landscape for Stellarium
====================================================================


Description
-----------

View from Canrooska Stone Row, Cork, Ireland.


This is a calibrated polygonal panorama.

Multiple photographs have, within a CAD environment, been scaled, 
clipped & fitted to surveyed data points on the horizon.
The horizon was then traced to produce a polyline, 
the point-coordinates of which form the content of the data file. 

There is some loss of detail due to the tracing process but
the ability to replace obscuring vegetation with some more accurate approximation
of the true landscape profile is a major advantage.

Files

  landscape.ini
  horizon-canrooska-row.txt


Installation & Use
------------------
If you have Stellarium 0.10.6 or a later version, 
you can use the 'Add/remove landscapes' feature to install landscapes automatically:

Open the 'Sky and viewing options' window by clicking on the appropriate button,
in the left button bar, or by pressing the F4 key.
The 'Add/remove landscapes' button is at the bottom of the 'Landscape' tab.
When you press it, the 'Add/remove landscapes' window will appear.
This allows you to install .zip files containing landscapes. 
It also lists existing user-installed landscapes and allows you to remove them.

This feature makes installing landscapes easy but
may cause you to overlook other content included in the .zip file: 
Landscape packages may contain other files, 
such as alternative textures in different sizes.

If you have an earlier version of Stellarium:
Unzip the zip file in the <user_directory>/landscapes directory.
The <user_directory> location depends on your operating system.
See the Stellarium User Guide for details.

Once you have sucessfully installed the landscape, open Stellarium and
go to the 'Sky and viewing options' dialog and select its landscapes tab. 
Then select the newly installed landscape from the list of available landscapes.
