Description MiPlagmann 2007-10-16 21:15:46 UTC
Version:           1.2.5 (using KDE 3.5.5 "release 45.4" , openSUSE 10.2)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux

Hi,
i wrote a short script to view the way of Saturn over a long period. In 2025 Saturn makes a kind of turn over. I tried to find out the time when that happens, but when I make the timescale shorter, Saturn is already fliped over. I go back in time but the normal position isn 't shown.
Following my script:

#!/bin/bash
#KStars DCOP script: Saturn-Turn-over
#by nn
#last modified: Tue Oct 16 2007 21:12:01
#
KSTARS=`dcopfind -a 'kstars*'`
MAIN=KStarsInterface
CLOCK=clock#1
dcop $KSTARS $MAIN  setLocalTime 2025 5 13 8 10 0
dcop $KSTARS $MAIN  changeViewOption UseAltAz false
dcop $KSTARS $MAIN  lookTowards Saturn
dcop $KSTARS $MAIN  defaultZoom
dcop $KSTARS $MAIN  zoom 200000.
dcop $KSTARS $CLOCK setClockScale 600
dcop $KSTARS $CLOCK start
dcop $KSTARS $MAIN  waitFor 30
dcop $KSTARS $CLOCK stop
##

Greetings

Michael

I haven't seen this for Saturn, but I have actually seen a similar "flipping" of the M31 image at certain times.  It's probably some general problem with the rotation and scaling of images in the map.  I'll look into it.

Thanks for the report.
