There is no built-in feature for this. One of our users (qam1) wrote some scripts for finding various events.

These can be downloaded here:

  http://porpoisehead.net/misc/stars_and_planets.zip

You should unzip this file, copying the "scripts" directory to your "user data directory". The location of the user data directory depends on your OS. You can find out how to find it for your computer here:

I have copied all the files in the "scripts" directory to the place \...\AppData\Roaming\Stellarium\Data in Windows Vista.

Then what shall I do to use it?

Thanks.

If TUI plugin activated, then put "M", after "bottom arrow" (7. Scripts), "Enter", "right arrow", "Enter".

Another way: "F2" -> Scripts -> ....

Can you help with this problem?
