12 Starry Night User’s Guide
Following the QuickTime installation, the
Starry Night Pro and Pro Plus installer
launches an application to install
telescope control. If you have a motorized
telescope you wish to control with Starry
Night, follow the onscreen instructions.
See “Telescope Control
” on page 116 for
more information on telescope control.
Telescope control is not available in Starry
Night CSAP and Starry Night Enthusiast.
Tip (Astrophoto Suite and Pro Plus only):
Windows users do not need to install a
separate plug-in for Maxim DL imaging
software, it is packaged into the main
Starry Night installer. See “MaxIm DL
Plug-In (Windows only)” on page 186 for
more information on MaxIm DL.
6 Starry Night includes a standalone
DVD disc (“SkyTheater”), which
contains short movies about astronomy.
You can play the DVD disc on your
computer DVD-ROM drive or your
home DVD player.
Macintosh: To install Starry Night for the
Macintosh, follow these steps.
1 Insert the DVD into the DVD-ROM
drive and double-click on the Starry
Night installation icon.
Starry Night Pro and Pro Plus users
have the option to select a “Full Install”
or “Custom Install”.The “Full Install”
option will install extra star data, with
stars as dim as magnitude 15 (these
stars are not visible in your sky without
a telescope) and the Principal Galaxy
Catalog (PGC) with 980, 000 galaxies
as dim as magnitude 18.
The “Full Install” option in Starry
Night Pro Plus will also install the
AllSky Image in Direct Draw Surface
(DDS) texture format. DDS textures
load up to 20x faster making Starry
Night run smoother when viewing the
AllSky Image. The difference is
substancial but the AllSky DDS texture
will take an additional 8 GB on your
hard disc (compared to the non-DDS
AllSky Image at 1 GB).The “Minimal
Install” option will not install the
dimmer stars and galaxies or the DDS
version of the AllSky Image, saving
about 8 GB of hard disk space. The
“Custom Install” option allows you to
select which extra data to install.
Tip (Pro and Pro Plus only): Macintosh
users do not need to install a separate
driver for telescope control, it is packaged
into the main Starry Night installer.
Telescope control is not available in Starry
Night CSAP and Starry Night Enthusiast.
