In Starry Night Pro 6 I could show Apogee, Perigee, South and North Node on Lunar Orbit. 

I've been unable to show that in Starry Night Pro 8.

Can anyone help please?

Do I need to upgrade to the expensive version?

Thanks,

Joseph

  Hi Joseph,

  Starry Night Pro 8 offers almost everything in Pro Plus 8 - for this query an upgrade is not required.

  I believe this is what you are looking for.

  

  Thanks!

  And this via Options > Solar System > Planets-Moons

  Keiron, thanks so much!!! I spent hours trying to figure this out!!! Now I feel dumb!
  I thought the "Set Time" option would just move to that time.
  
  

  And the "orbit line nodes and pericenter" was for all orbits. I was looking for Moon centric only. Duhhhh - I'm only showing moon orbit.

  Thanks again!

  The Force is strong with you!

  I see the South Node and North Node Markers. But the Apogee And Perigee moves the Moon to that time but no markers.
  Also is there a way to make the Asteroid Labels big like the planets? They're very hard to read.
  thanks!
