	KStars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Screenshot of KStars showing the night sky from Hanover.
		KStars is a planetarium program that runs under GNU/Linux and other Unix like operating systems.
		It provides an accurate graphical representation of the night sky, from any location on Earth, at any date and time.
	en.wikipedia.org /wiki/KStars (121 words)

	KStars KDE-Apps.org
		KStars comes with several tools to aid amateur astronomers of all levels, and a collection of informative articles on astronomical topics.
		KStars is an excellent program and has been for some time now.
		We are also adding an option where the kstars window can adjust its color scheme to a dark-vision theme to match the dark-vision theme of the sky map.

	OSNews.com
		KStars, a planetarium program written for UNIX machines running the K Desktop Environment, has been ported to OS X via Fink and X11, and offers Mac users a sophisticated but free planetarium program.
		KStars has given me my own little virtual sky to stare in awe at, and it makes me want to go live somewhere where I can see the starry sky properly.
		I haven't tried KStars yet, but I am currently having lots of fun playing with Celestia for Mac OS X. They recently released a native Cocoa version for OS X, and it's quite rough--but there's an alpha 2 update available on their SourceForge site that makes it tolerable.

	Free Software Project Survey: View survey for KStars (jharris) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		KStars is an educational tool for students and anyone else who is interested in the night sky.
		KStars is part of the KDE project so it gets translated into up to 40 languages and each language has its own translation team with at least one member each.
		At any given time each of us looks at KStars and says "wouldn't it be cool if it could do this?" and then we try to make that happen.

	Custom Catalogs in KStars \| www.kdedevelopers.org
		One complication is that others on the KStars team want more time to work on their in-progress features before we start a divergent kde4 branch.
		However, other devs are already making changes to kstars in kde4, so delaying the port in order to keep the kde4 and kde3.5 branches in sync may be futile.
		KStars is riddled with QPtrLists, so that's a bit troubling.

	Re: [K12OSN] Repost: KStars downloaded images blank
		I have replicated your results w/ K12LTSP 3.1.1; KStars doesn't itself show anything but flness in the "image" window, but I can save it and view it in, say, Eye of Gnome.
		My results now are less positive, because now KStars dies with ASSERT statements in qvaluelist.h (some Qt header).
		KStars is an awsome program worth the effort.

	Interview with Jason Harris of KStars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		I'm really fortunate to have such a great group of co-developers; KStars wouldn't be nearly as cool as it is without their efforts.
		I was hoping KStars could then be used as one of the programs which dynamically generates your desktop background, but I can't get it to work.
		That is a funny coincidence because a couple of months before joining the KStars team, I made a small astronomical calculator (a prototype) to learn how to develop with C++, Qt and KDE and I called the project "astrocalc"...

		We are writing a collection of short articles to be included with KStars to help explain the concepts behind KStars.
		There are a lot of articles we'd like to include; many more than we can possibly write ourselves in a reasonable amount of time.

	LWN: KStars: A Desktop Planetarium for KDE
		A new snapshot of KStars, a "desktop planetarium", has been announced.
		"Recently featured in Linux Magazine, KStars displays an accurate representation of the night sky as seen from any location on Earth, on any date, including all of 40 000 stars, 13 000 deep-sky objects, all planets, the Sun and Moon, and 2500 comets and asteroids.
		KStars has an intuitive interface that makes it easy for anyone to explore the night sky.

	KStars - Games & Education - Windows - Free software - Framasoft
		Kstars is the default planetarium of the KDE desktop under Linux.
		The graphic user interface is very simple, but Kstars gives everything that a planetarium can give: night sky configuration at any time and for any geographical point, stars, deep sky objects and planets position, constellation drawing, and some useful tools for experts (telescope and CCD camera driving, coordinates conversion, light spectrum for 6 000 stars).
		With a beautiful night sky rendering and the AstroInfo project, a collection of astronomical papers for beginners, KStars is the perfect tool both for experts and novices of sky observation.

	Re: [K12OSN] Repost: KStars downloaded images blank
		I can't figure out why KStars would need opengl support when it's only displaying jpg's and gif's.
		What I am looking for from this listserve is just some people to take a couple of seconds and try KStars from a client and see if they experience the same problem.
		However, on the server which has an on board ATI rage pro chip the images appear properly (regardless if I log in as root or a user).

		The library is divided into two components: A Low level module that allows access to the LX200 command set, and a Client/Server skeleton for remote control.
		Note: INDI has been integrated into KStars and therefore no more development will take place on the sourceforge site.
		I'm currently also adding a KStars modulo that uses the library.

	Computer Shopper: Product Reviews: Kstars
		Kstars is a virtual planetarium that gives commercial packages a run for their money.
		One of the best aspects of Kstars is that it can operate a wide range of amateur telescopes.
		Kstars has fewer facilities, but those with the cash for a small motorised telescope will be finding, observing and tracking objects across the sky in no time.

	clarification on KStars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		IIRC, KStars shipped with similar non-free for commercial use catalogs before and all distributions shipped KDE without a problem.
		When you put KStars on a CD and charge for it, you're not charging for KStars itself (if you are, then you're insane) but you're charging for the medium and the costs associated with it, therefore, you're not 'commercilizing' KStars and the whole argument falls apart.
		The only situation we have to worry about is someone harvesting the catalog from KStars and incorporating it in their own commercial software.
