Configuration settings for spherical mirror

Asked by elementcxv

I don't see spherical mirror settings in the config.ini file (when using the Windows version). They do show up in the Stellarium config file, but I don't know if they actually do anything. Is this something that applies only to Linux, or is it even something that can be controlled? I have some significant distortions in my 9 ft dome, but I'm getting ready to try it in a 30 ft dome, where it may not be an issue.

You definitely need to adjust the parameters for your particular setup.

You can add this section to your config.ini file (these are the default settings and will be included in the default config file in future releases for clarity):

[spheric_mirror]
projector_position_x = 0.0
projector_position_y = 1.0
projector_position_z = -0.2
mirror_position_x = 0.0
mirror_position_y = 2.0
mirror_position_z = 0.0
mirror_radius = 0.25
dome_radius = 2.5
zenith_y = 0.125
scaling_factor = 0.8
projector_gamma = 0.45
