The following plugins are included in Stellarium version 0.10.3 and later:
- Angle Measure - a tool for measuring the angular distance between two points
- Compass Marks - add marks for compass bearings along the horizon
- Oculars - simulate the view through various telescope eyepeices
- Telescope Control - allows Stellarium to control a computerized telescope
- Text User Interface - re-implements the old TUI (useful for planetarium users)
- Satellites - calculates and renders Satellites in Earth orbit from NORAD/TLE data (hello ISS!)
Some other plug-ins exist:
- LogBook - allows you to record observation notes, and track your observation sessions
- VirGO - The ESO-sponsored archive browsing and visualization tool
Enabling plugins
To enable a plugin:
