This page contains links on landscapes provided by Stellarium users.

=General notes on installation of new landscapes=
Specific instructions are given for each landscape.
#Copy one or more .png file to a specific directory
#Editing the landscape.ini file
The instructions for each landscape mention the <config root> directory. Details of what this means can be found [http://www.porpoisehead.net/mysw/stellarium_user_guide_html-0.8.0-1/node29.html here].

After installing a new landscape, you'll need to re-start Stellarium for changes to take effect. If all is well, you should see a new section in the configuration windows in the landscape tab.

More information about the ways to make new landscapes can be found in the [http://www.porpoisehead.net/mysw/stellarium_user_guide_html-0.8.0-1/node41.html user guide].

=General notes on installation of new landscapes=
Specific instructions are given for each landscape.
#Copy one or more .png file to a specific directory
#Editing the landscape.ini file
The instructions for each landscape mention the <config root> directory. Details of what this means can be found [http://www.porpoisehead.net/mysw/stellarium_user_guide_html-0.8.0-1/node29.html here].

After installing a new landscape, you'll need to re-start Stellarium for changes to take effect. If all is well, you should see a new section in the configuration windows in the landscape tab.

More information about the ways to make new landscapes can be found in the [http://www.porpoisehead.net/mysw/stellarium_user_guide_html-0.8.0-1/node41.html user guide].

Wedesoft: /* Jan Wedekind - River Rivelin, Sheffield, UK */

This page contains links on landscapes provided by Stellarium users.

=General notes on installation of new landscapes=
Specific instructions are given for each landscape.
#Copy one or more .png file to a specific directory
#Editing the landscape.ini file
The instructions for each landscape mention the <config root> directory. Details of what this means can be found [http://www.porpoisehead.net/mysw/stellarium_user_guide_html-0.8.0-1/node29.html here].

After installing a new landscape, you'll need to re-start Stellarium for changes to take effect. If all is well, you should see a new section in the configuration windows in the landscape tab.

More information about the ways to make new landscapes can be found in the [http://www.porpoisehead.net/mysw/stellarium_user_guide_html-0.8.0-1/node41.html user guide].

=General notes on installation of new landscapes=
Specific instructions are given for each landscape.
#Copy one or more .png file to a specific directory
#Editing the landscape.ini file
The instructions for each landscape mention the <config root> directory. Details of what this means can be found [http://www.porpoisehead.net/mysw/stellarium_user_guide_html-0.8.0-1/node29.html here].

After installing a new landscape, you'll need to re-start Stellarium for changes to take effect. If all is well, you should see a new section in the configuration windows in the landscape tab.

This page contains links on landscapes provided by Stellarium users.

=General notes on installation of new landscapes=
Specific instructions are given for each landscape.
#Copy one or more .png file to a specific directory
#Editing the landscape.ini file
The instructions for each landscape mention the <config root> directory. Details of what this means can be found [http://www.porpoisehead.net/mysw/stellarium_user_guide_html-0.8.0-1/node29.html here].

After installing a new landscape, you'll need to re-start Stellarium for changes to take effect. If all is well, you should see a new section in the configuration windows in the landscape tab.

More information about the ways to make new landscapes can be found in the [http://www.porpoisehead.net/mysw/stellarium_user_guide_html-0.8.0-1/node41.html user guide].

Landscapes pre 0.9.0

Wedesoft: Added Sheffield Rivelin panorama

This page contains links on landscapes provided by Stellarium users.

=General notes on installation of new landscapes=
Specific instructions are given for each landscape.
#Copy one or more .png file to a specific directory
#Editing the landscape.ini file
The instructions for each landscape mention the <config root> directory. Details of what this means can be found [http://www.porpoisehead.net/mysw/stellarium_user_guide_html-0.8.0-1/node29.html here].

After installing a new landscape, you'll need to re-start Stellarium for changes to take effect. If all is well, you should see a new section in the configuration windows in the landscape tab.

More information about the ways to make new landscapes can be found in the [http://www.porpoisehead.net/mysw/stellarium_user_guide_html-0.8.0-1/node41.html user guide].
