Internet Database & Digitized Sky
Survey
When I choose Online Info for an object
in Starry Night, it opens using Internet
Explorer. How do I get it to use
Netscape?
Starry Night uses your "default Internet
browser" to access our Internet database.
If you want to use Netscape, you must
make it your default browser. Learn how
to do this for Macintosh: http://
home.netscape.com/download/
mac_instructions.html or Windows: http://

Sometimes the Show Photographic
Image option in the menu is greyed out.
Why?
This option (which downloads an image
from the Digitized Sky Survey) is only
available when you have a field of view
between about 1.5 arcminutes and 45
arcminutes. At larger or smaller fields of
view, it will be greyed out.
Printing & Making Movies
Printing star charts and making
QuickTime animation sequences.
How do I print star charts?
Adjust your window to the view you want,
then choose File->Print.
Can I print images in colour?
You cannot print images in colour by using
the File->Print command. However, there
is a way around this. Set up the screen so
that it shows the image you wish to print
out. Choose File->Export as Image. This
opens a window which allows you to save
the screen as a graphical image. The
bottom left corner of this window has a
dropbox which allows you to save the
image in several popular formats, such as a
"jpeg" or a "pict". Once you have saved
this image, you can open it a program such
as Internet Explorer and choose File-
>Print to print out a colour image.
