How do I adjust the horizon in Starry Night Pro vers 6.4.3.
My Home location is Caron, Saskatchewan Elevation 1895 ASL but for some reason Starry Night Pro is showing objects to be under the horizon when in fact they are still high in the night sky ie: it is showing Venus and Jupiter to be below the horizon at 11pm and they are still well above the horizon.
Hi Patrick,
I think the issue here is about time and/or location. If the time and/or location is not set correctly the stars/planets will not be represented accurately in the night sky.
Starry Night time is based on your computer operating system time. The two must be set correctly, and in sync. An error in either will result in a Starry Night error in calculation. For the moment, let us assume your operating system clock is set correctly. So, lets look at Starry Night.
If you go to File--->Set Home Location--->and then look at the "Map" tab, you will probably see that there is a little red "X" (which represents your location on the global map) somewhere in middle of the Atlantic Ocean or India or somewhere else. The little red "X" needs to be where you are actually located (as a timezone). It doesn't have to be on your exact city, but in the same general vicinity. Once the "X" has been located properly, your Starry Night time should read correctly. Please have a look at this, and let me know whether this resolves the issue for you.
