If you're not sure do not make any changes here. They determine where the image will be. These are also in ImageCoordSys coordinate system.
Adjust this value if your image is facing towards the incorrect cardinal direction. Think of ImageCentreRa as Left and Right. a mountain peak- and set the ImageCentreDec so that it appears the same in SN. You can even set this precisely by recording the actual rise or set time of a certain star/planet over a given obstacle in your panorama -e.g. Use this value to adjust your panorama until it looks right against the sky. SN's formal horizon line lies at 0 degrees Altitude as you may expect. A value of -11.0 means that the centre of your image lies 11 degrees below Starry Night's formal horizon line. Think of ImageCentreDec as degrees Up and Down. These values are in the coord system that you pick out with ImageCoordSys Leave this value as yes if you added an Alpha channel. with alpha blending at the interface, we need to say Yes here, otherwise say "no" If the image has an alpha channel that is set up with the sky having an alpha of 0 and the horizon an alpha of 1, A value between 45-55 is about right for most images. This value specifies the height of the image in degrees. Planet that panorama is associated with (in this case this panorama is only appropriate for the Earth) Both the image and text file must be located in the Horizon Panoramas folder. For example if you named your image "MyHorizon.png", change it to value="MyHorizon.png". Change value="Honolulu Hawaii Pano.png" to the name of the PNG image you made and placed in the Horizon Panoramas folder. The name you choose will appear in the drop box in the Horizon Options window. Change value="Honolulu Hawaii Pano" to a name that describes your image. Pano name - you see this in menus, etc.

So, if you're disappointed with your result please review the code - it may be important to adjust the various parameters that line your image up with the compass, height above the SN horizon etc. But, if your panorama does not look very good, then modifying other parts of the code may be required. You may leave all other lines and values as they are. You only need change Part 1 to successfully add your image. When you open the "Honolulu Hawaii Pano.txt" file, you will see numerous lines with the general format. Just make changes to the code as required, and then save the new text file with your new name. You can use this same file for your own panoramas. Now, for this example, we are using the "Honolulu Hawaii Pano.txt" file as a template (download the attached file). Importantly! The panorama PNG and the accompanying text file MUST have the same name. The second component required to add your photorealistic landscape to Starry Night, is the accompanying text file. Sky Data/Horizon Panoramas) in this new folder, then edited there. While we've made every effort to hide this ugliness from you the user, if for any reason you want to get your hands dirty and edit a file manually, it should first be copied to the same respective path (e.g. Note that this is where any "streamed" data will be located too.

A quick Googling can show you how to un-hide it) (Note that the AppData folder is often "hidden". (Windows) \Users\\AppData\Local\Simulation Curriculum\Starry Night Prefs\ In previous versions of SN, the application itself would edit (write to) files in its own Sky Data folder located either in the application package (on OSX) or in the Program Files folder (Windows) and this is now considered very bad behavior.įor that reason, any time SN needs to write/modify a file, we do so in a new Sky Data folder located at: Because of the ubiquity of the internet, the vast volumes of data available to us (and therefore you, the SN user) and new security requirements imposed by operating systems, Starry Night 7 has introduced the idea of a "dynamic" (writeable) Sky Data folder.
