===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
CAN YOU READ THE SKY AS EFFORTLESSLY AS YOU CAN READ?
Your Virtual Observatory for the Millennium
Stella 2000 is new astronomical software for the PC which runs in all
32-bit flavours of Windows. Stella generates highly realistic views of
the heavens in real time as observed from anywhere in the world.
Think of it as your virtual observatory. Stella is nothing less than a
simulation of the stars in their courses as seen from Earth, and has the
capacity to transform you into an expert on the skies.
Explore realistic skies in real time, complete with observing log and
list facility, live ephemeris, location browser, and a sophisticated
search embracing planets, comets, DSOs, and over 15500 stars.
Choose between 4 different celestial projections and observe from
between 0-90 degrees of elevation and 0-360 degrees of the compass in
either resizeable windows or in a faithful full-screen mode.
Advance, retard, or animate the simulation's clock by years, months,
days, and minutes of both sidereal or solar time.
Stella builds upon the uniqueness and verisimilitude of its precursor
Coeli - Electric Planisphere to bring effects such as scintillation,
refraction, extinction, and precession in point-source, spotlight, and
the new photoplate display modes. Subtler color gradations accurately
reflect a star's true character, and the complete Messier catalog in
ImageIcons features as an integral part of this new package, crowned by
the facility to record and plan your real-sky observations quickly and
conveniently.
The sky and the ephemerides may be printed in either mono or color, with
both horizon and equatorial grids, aequator, ecliptic, horizon,
constellation lines, names, boundaries and legends.
An astronomical application stands or falls by the quality of its data,
and Stella 2000's sources are second to none. The starting point is the
much relied-upon Harvard Revised Catalog (Hoffleit & Warren,1991), an
incomparable source of details on 10000 or so naked eye stars down to
magnitude 6.5. A permanent level-one database, the Bright Star Catalog is
present in both the shareware and registered versions of Stella 2000,
supplemented by a 7000 star selection from the ultra-modern ESA Hipparcos
satellite sky survey, bringing Stella's basic population to almost 16000
stars.
For telescopic and binocular observers, we begin to climb the ladder of
Stella's optional data extensions, all the way from magnitude 7.0 to
those stars beyond magnitude 9 resolvable by more powerful amateur
telescopes. The SAO and Hipparcos extensions are tiered in batches of
25000 stars, and may be purchased and loaded at your discretion.
Stella's star capacity thus reaches a more-than-respectable 1 million.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
What do you need to run Stella 2000?
Minimum System
--------------
Stella can be installed on any IBM compatible PC with a 486 DX processor
or higher running Windows 95, 98, or NT. The more video and conventional
RAM you have, the better - 1 Mb or more for the former, and at least 8Mb
of the latter.
Please note that although Stella will load and run on the stated minimum
system, operations -- especially load times -- will be slow. We make no
apologies for this: Stella is an advanced planetarium system containing
more celestial objects and graphics than average and, in order to
achieve such excellence, speed optimizations were inevitably among the
first things to be sacrificed. Therefore we here suggest a more
practical minimum system for running Stella as an Intel Pentium 166 with
16Mb of RAM.
Recommended System
------------------
The recommended system for running Stella 2000 is a Pentium 200 or
higher with 32 Mb of RAM and a graphics card equipped with at least 2 Mb.
Additionally, Stella requires that your Windows display be in either
Hi-color or Truecolor mode, at a resolution of at least 800x600 pixels.
The optimum screen resolution for Stella is 1024x768. Please note that a
display of only 256 colours is bound to be a disappointment.
If your video subsystem is not up to displaying in at least
Hi-color at 800x600, we would strongly recommend purchase of our
slightly less demanding Coeli - Electric Planisphere, with which Stella
2000 is maintaining full compatibility. Just point your Web browser at
http://www.coeli.com
for details.

===== Installation =====================================
INSTALLING COELI - STELLA 2000
------------------------------
Windows automatic installation
------------------------------
Your Stella package is installed simply by double clicking on
the file SETUP.EXE once you have unzipped the contents of
Stella.zip to a folder of your choosing.
We recommend the excellent WinZip utility for unpacking
Stella's main .zip archive. You can get the latest version
of Winzip from
http://www.winzip.com
If you have not already done so, we would additionally
recommend that, prior to running SETUP.EXE, you use Explorer
to create a new folder called Astronomy inside the Windows 95
Start Menu folder. Just navigate to Windows\Start Menu and
click with the right mouse button on some unoccupied space in
Explorer's right-hand window. You'll see a popup menu, one of
whose options will be |New|. Select |Folder| from the submenu,
and name it 'Astronomy' or some other appropriate title. After
setup, you will be able to manually move the shortcut named
Stella 2000 into this new folder for a tidier and more compact
Start menu.
Tip: when in doubt about the Win95 Explorer's file-listing,
just press [F5] to refresh its display. Very often, an item you
thought wasn't there will magically appear!
NB: IF INSTALLING OVER A PRIOR VERSION OF STELLA (WHETHER
TRIAL OR REGISTERED), FIRST COPY ANY OBSERVATION LOG FILES
(.STL) TO A SAFE PLACE BEFORE PROCEDING WITH THE REMOVAL OF
THE OLD VERSION VIA THE CONTROL PANEL.
WHEN YOU HAVE REMOVED THE OLD INSTALLATION, YOU MAY THEN
CONFIDENTLY PROCEED WITH THE SETUP OF THE NEW VERSION OF
STELLA 2000, FINALLY COPYING BACK THE LOG FILES WHEN THIS HAS
COMPLETED TO YOUR SATISFACTION.
THE SETUP UTILITY LEAVES ALL PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED FILES OF THE
SAME NAME INTACT, SO WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING THE LAST
INSTALLATION, A NEW COPY OF THE PACKAGE CANNOT BE INSTALLED.
Stella may be uninstalled at any time simply by opening
Control Panel from the Settings entry in your Start Menu, and
double- clicking on the item Add/Remove Programs. You will be
shown a list of programs currently installed on your system,
from which you should select the item 'Stella 2000' for
automatic removal.
The complete Stella 2000 package contains a number of text
files, all designed to help you get started with the minimum
of fuss. Have a browse through any item with the .TXT or .RTF
extension if you've the time. Some of these will necessitate
the selection of |Word Wrap| in Notepad or whichever text
editor you elect to view them in.
If you encounter a serious installation problem, please do not
hesitate to get in touch.
