Unfortunately, the highly eccentric orbit of 3I/ATLAS is beyond the simulation capabilities of Starry Night.
If you want to track 3I/ATLAS please use SkySafari 7 Plus or Pro.

Martin Sassenberg I second this question. Where is 3I/ATLAS ?

Andre D Ficklin Keiron,
I remember there was someone asking if orbital elements for C/2025 N1 (3I/Atlas) could be added to Starry Night and I think the response was to use SkySafari Pro. I was able to find orbital data for 3I/Atlas and entered that data into Starry Night. Here is the link to the data from NASA's JPL Small Body Database Lookup:

I sent you a detailed email on Saturday Oct 18th showing C/2025 N1 (3i/Atlas) in Starry Night and in SkySafari 7 Pro.
