How to use Stellarium: The Angle Measuring Tool

is there a way to search by coordinates in stellarium like +18° 18' 22.02" ?

Memories of your Stellarium Tutorials in 2015 :(

Very cool thank you for sharing this 👍😎👏💃🎶🕺

The version I have on my iPad is different. I like the PC version better but my iPad is more convenient when I’m outside.

Loved It!

David, thanks, I needed that! I have enjoyed Stellarium for a couple of years after being introduced by your videos but there is a lot to learn. I was confused when you would measure. Thanks for clearing this up for me. I like to open Stellarium before sunset just to know whats up. With all the rain and industry shut down we can actually see the big dipper and pole star even though looking north into Chicago.

C'est bien

The measure tool is my most-used Stellarium feature. Also a tip about using the relative scale in display settings (or any other field that has up-down arrows), you can hover your mouse over the number and use the scroll wheel up and down to change the setting. This works well for date/time input as well.

Thank you David! And thank you to David's other subscribers who suggested that I watch the other Stellarium tutorial videos that David has produced. You are all awesome!! :)

What's wrong with the sound? I had to turn up the volume...

Thanks, that was quite helpful. I use the angle tool often but was not aware of the right click. I do enjoy your videos :)

Hey, I have a Cassini reflector f800x80mm. And tonight I tried viewing Jupiter. I had put the red dot right on Jupiter and looked through the finder and saw nothing. Do you know if I have to angle the scope to different sides?

Thank you for all the good Stellarium tips.

can we measure angle in degree?

how to measure angle in degree?

How do we measure distance from a planet to Earth?

Thank you! I've only used Stellarium to 'see' what is happening a certain date and time. It has so much more to offer!

How do we change the gear ratios for our custom telescope? In the software I mean. WE have a very low gear ratio and the software is not aware of it.

This was very helpful! Thank you!

Thanks

what is the algorithm for obtaining these measurements? Euler method? and the Angle of Position?
Whait is angle position?

You can get precise measurements by doing the following:
Zoom all the way into the first object, left click drag from that object to anywhere on the screen.
This is the important bit: don't touch the left/right buttons. Use the arrow keys and the scroll wheel on your mouse to navigate to your 2nd object and zoom all the way into the object.
Right click that 2nd object. Zoom out to read the measurement.
You now have the exact angle between them.

Thank you for the amazing tip <3

Hi
Nice explanation
Could you please explain how to measure the angle between a star and the horizon.
