Stellarium

The Trees Landscape should have a Maximum Altitude setting for various tree heights.

Asked by Nexus

I am not a programmer, but it would be helpful to include a variable tree height for the Landscape of trees background. Example: My primary viewing spot is 32 degrees high because of the backyard trees. If this could be adjusted in say 1 degree increments, the program could be tailored to each individuals viewing area.

Something like that is in the To Do list, though no-one has tried to implement it so far:

You can create your own panoramic landscape of your observation spot by "stitching" together photos with something like Hugin or Microsoft's Image Composite Editor (both are free).

You can also make a landscape from a single fish-eye image, and you can make a fish-eye image with the fish-eye lens from a door peephole:

Can you help with this problem?
