Planetarium on t3?

[nekrataal]

How can I get Planetarium to Full-screen on my T3? do I need to use code diver?

[alex_lorenzo]

Code diver is of no use (you just get a white VG area). Let's hope they'll release a new version. Planetarium in full landscape mode must be really great!

Yeah, Planetarium is in my opinion the best astronomy app on the Palm. On the other hand, 2sky does support the VG area of the T3, unfortunately, its commercial, no demo available...

bummer on the no-demo thing. =( I'm just getting back into stargazing, and DIA support sure would be nice. Oh well, I can live. :)

Planetarium 2.3 is out in beta, with T3 support!!

Yep, I downloaded it and it works great, no problem so far. It looks really good in full-screen!

I also downloaded it. It is awesome. Everything I've been looking for in that program.

Where did you download it from? Every place I looked had version 2.2 only?

Thanks

Just to note Beta 2.3.3 is out as of Feb 25th, check it out, even now sports a new icon ( think even Mytho would like it :-) )

I am a novice to astronomy programs but I must say this is quite an amazing piece of software, even found out that it has GPS support and will even control a telescope. There is also a third party product called Astroplanner for the Desktop (Mac and PC ) that you can use to import stuff into Planetarium.

Now all we need is for the Telescope manufacturers to add Bluetooth support.

Yea there's an idea, having no idea about telescope hardware, but just guessing, is it not just a serial interface, so perhaps a BT dongle could be used?
