Stellarium Users Guides

[pickinduck]

I think I tried downloading Stellarium before and it swamped me so I uninstalled it. I thought this morning I should see if there is a guide book available for it. I looked on Amazon and there are 2.

www.amazon.com/Stellarium-User-Guide-Matthew-Gates/dp/9888406795/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1485272167&sr=1-1&keywords=stellarium+users+guide

www.amazon.com/Skychart-User-Guide-Patrick-Chevallery/dp/9888406809/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1485272167&sr=1-2&keywords=stellarium+users+guide

I'm guessing the first one would be the one to get?
There is a good chance I'll send for this with my next order.

The first one is the guide for Stellarium. The second one is a guide for Skychart, which is a different program altogether.

Hmm, it also looks like Skychart, also known as by it's French name as Cartes du Ciel, might be the better program.

Here's another good source of information on where to get sky maps online and which skychart programs are good.
