Identify” opens a dialog box that lets you
choose how to display the highlighted
constellations. The display options are the
same as for displaying all constellations
(name, boundary, stick figure or classical

highlighted constellation. If you choose to
display an illustration, you can also
control the brightness of this illustration.
Boundaries: Checking this box displays
the boundaries of the 88 official
constellations.
Illustrations: Checking this box displays
classical illustrations for the
constellations.
Labels: Checking this box turns on or off
constellation labels.

for the constellations.
Constellation Options: Clicking on the
words “Boundaries”, “Labels”, or “Stick
Figures” will open the Constellation
Options dialog box.
This dialog box lets you adjust the colour
of the constellation figures, boundaries
and labels. You can also adjust the size and
font of the labels. For the labels, a dropbox
lets you choose whether to display the
constellation’s astronomical name, its
common translation, or both. For the stick
figures, you can choose from several
different figure sets.
