Adding Calendar Events
Astronomical calendars are a great way to
keep track of celestial events you don’t
want to miss. Starry Night provides you a
number of default event calendars and
allows you to add or import your own. For
example, you can create an event calendar
for your local club or view a calendar
made by another member.
Note: You can open the
SkyCalendar on a separate and
larger window by pressing the
calendar icon.
Creating a Calendar:
To add a new
calendar, expand the
Browser layer and
press the “+” calendar button on the
bottom left of the calendar list.
The Add Calendar dialog box will open
with several fields to describe your
calendar.
Select Create from the dropbox on the
upper left of the dialog and fill in the
Calendar name and description. To add
your calendar press the Ok button. Your
calendar should now be listed in the
calendar list.
Adding an event to a calendar:
To add an event to a
calendar, click on the
calendar name you
want to add an event to. This will highlight
the calendar name. Press the “+” event
button to open the Add Event dialog box.
The dialog box allows you to name the
event, specify the duration of the event and
add a description. You can also insert a
web site (URL) link to the event and add
your current view settings as a Starry
Night file to the event. To save the event
and add it to the calendar, click the Ok
button.
If a web site and Starry Night file was
added to an event, expand the Info layer
and press the Web button to visit the site
and the View Event button to recreate the
view settings of the event in the main
window.
