Kagayaki-IV User's Manual

Planetarium, Star Atlas

The planetarium is the horizontal coordinate system.
The star atlas is the equatorial coordinates system.

	* The twilight... Twilight of the evening and the dawn is beautifully simulated. Twilight is displayed in "Planetarium" only. * Scroll Drag the sky with mouse's left button. * ZOOM OUT, ZOOM IN Click [ZOOM OUT],[ZOOM IN] button. Or rotate the mouse wheel on the meter that shows the reduced scale. The meter moves even if dragged up and down with a mouse left button. So why is twilight beautiful? Twilight appears because the sun light hits the atmosphere, moisture, and dust. The reflected light repeats the reflection refraction again. Scattering at twilight is called Rayleigh Scattering, Mie Scattering . It takes long time for the simulation on the screen (It is called the rendering processing). It was mathematically made an approximation, and it was built in Kagayaki-IV.

	* The night comes... Beautiful starry sky will appear. * About the nebula and the star cluster mark Nebula planetary nebula Galaxy Open cluster Globular cluster

	* Right-clicking Right-click in the object when you want to turn the telescope to the object or you want to see information about the object. The object near the clicked point is displayed as a list. Choose from the list. This is an example of having chosen M42(Orion Nebula). Even if M42 is chosen by the object list under the panel clock, it is similar.

	* Zoom in to the nebula, star cluster. This is the Horsehead Nebula. As for a big nebula, shape is displayed like this. If it is Professional Edition, it is displayed by the image.

	* By the image The image is displayed like this. It is only Professional Edition that the image is displayed.

	* Power of 10,000 images ! This is the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. 10,000 image power simulates such a fantastic scene in your desktop. It is only Professional Edition that the image is displayed.

* The space scene by Kagayaki-IV

* Comet Neat The tail is displayed since Ver4.10.	* Galaxy M51(Whirlpool Galaxy) Canes Venatici It is a famous, beautiful galaxy.	* The ring of Saturn The Saturn has changed the direction.

* Total Lunar Eclipse A brown shadow is a shadow of the earth.	* Annular eclipse May, 2012 Tokyo It is a ring of the sun seen in the sky of Monday morning in Tokyo.	* Rendezvous of M1(Crab Nebula) and Saturn It is an unusual phenomenon that occurred in January, 2003.

* What is that star!? It is not an airplane. UFO? star!? It was a Jupiter that had risen from the horizon in the east.	* Jupiter closed up There are four famous satellites. Stripes pattern can be seen. An accurate positional calculation of Great Red Spot is impossible. Therefore, it is not displayed.	* Twilight in the north sky!? This is a midnight sun at Alaska. The sun doesn't set at the midnight sun region. The sun turns to crawl the horizon.

* Print( Planetarium, Star Atlas)

The print quality is as high as a star atlas on the market.
The size balance of the star can be changed. (Contrast function)

* Print preview
The print image can be seen on the screen.

* Contrast
The balance of the star size can be changed.

* Save as file
It can be saved as a bit map file.

The resolution depends on a current printer.
- When the high resolution laser printer is current, the file size becomes huge. Take care about the hard disk capacity. It takes a long time to make the file.
