In the present version, the satellite viewing customization seems to be limited, and is also harder to spot despite the name being displayed. A neat feature would be to have an option to display the satellite's trails so that it is easier to spot a satellite. Along with that, I've noticed that the "find object" dialog does not appear to have a filter type for satellites. There seems to be a search box for it in the configuration window though. It is only a minor inconvenience, but would be great if there was some way to have it in the 'find object' dialog. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: Trials of satellites (atleast visible/brightest, so that it doesn't clutter the sky). Satellite option in the find object dialog
Git commit 5e0823d917bfa87a085cc3232d09723b4a621da4 by Jasem Mutlaq. Committed on 28/01/2015 at 13:22. Pushed by mutlaqja into branch 'master'. Trails for satellites can end up messy so it will NOT be implemented. However, I added satalittes to the find dialog.

Kstars 3.6.0 doesn't display satellites at all. I have loaded and updated satellite data. There are in ~/.local/share/kstars directory many .tle files which have in html format url http://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/geo.txt. But they are not in sky on monitor. Is that a bug? When I start kstars from console it prints log where are not any mention to satellites. There are some warnings and finnis text, because I use kstars with finnish texts in Linux Kubuntu 22.04 system. $ kstars Call to writableLocation without an application-based location. org.kde.kstars: Welcome to KStars 3.6.0 Stable org.kde.kstars: Build: 2022-08-28T09:17:15Z org.kde.kstars: OS: "ubuntu" org.kde.kstars: API: "x86_64-little_endian-lp64" org.kde.kstars: Arch: "x86_64" org.kde.kstars: Kernel Type: "linux" org.kde.kstars: Kernel Version: "5.15.0-47-generic" org.kde.kstars: Qt Version: 5.15.3 org.kde.kstars: Processing "unnamedstars.dat" , HTMesh Level 3 org.kde.kstars: Sky Mesh Size: 512 org.kde.kstars: Loaded DSO catalog file: "unnamedstars.dat" org.kde.kstars: Processing "deepstars.dat" , HTMesh Level 3 org.kde.kstars: Sky Mesh Size: 512 org.kde.kstars: Loaded DSO catalog file: "deepstars.dat" org.kde.kstars: Processing "USNO-NOMAD-1e8.dat" , HTMesh Level 6 org.kde.kstars: Sky Mesh Size: 32768 org.kde.kstars: Loaded DSO catalog file: "USNO-NOMAD-1e8.dat" org.kde.kstars: "Tähteä HD20 794 ei löytynyt." org.kde.kstars: "Tähteä HD98 230 ei löytynyt." org.kde.kstars: Loaded DSO catalogs. org.kde.kstars: Loading comets KTranscript: Loaded property map: /usr/share/locale/fi/LC_SCRIPTS/ki18n5/general.pmapc KTranscript: Loaded module: /usr/share/locale/fi/LC_SCRIPTS/ki18n5/ki18n5.js kf.i18n: "Interpolation {$[gen %1]} in {$[gen %1] &asetukset...} failed: Non-string return value: undefined" kf.i18n: "Interpolation {$[gen %1]} in {$[gen %1] käyttö&ohj...} failed: Non-string return value: undefined" kf.i18n: "Interpolation {$[elat %1]} in {&Tietoa $[yleisnimi_...} failed: Non-string return value: undefined" libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile kf.xmlgui: Shortcut for action "get_data" "Lataa uusia aineistoja…" set with QAction::setShortcut()!
