Planetary Orbit Lines

No, if planet(s) are not in the viewing area then you can't identify what's planet(s) have this line(s).

As far as I know, if a planet is not in the field of view, its orbit line is not displayed at all.

Hello Alexander;

I notice this occasionally, the last time was last night when two
planetary orbit lines appeared within my field of view and the only
planet that visible in that field was Jupiter, the other I suspect was
Uranus's orbit. I know that normally, the orbit for a selected planet
is the only one that should be visible in the field of view but
occasionally that is not true on my system. I just downloaded another
copy of Stellarium last night but the problem as still there. It would
be nice to have a feature that would identify the red orbital path if I
were to mouse-over it. It would also make debugging this type of issue
easier. :-)

Best regards,
Doug

Thanks Alexander Wolf, that solved my question.

Hello

I just opened Stellarium and the Orbital paths are showing agin, I have created a screen-shot. How do I send it to some one for review?

Hi Alexander

Thanks!

You seen orbit lines of two planets - Jupiter and Uranus, many moons of Jupiter and two dwarf planets - Eris and Ceres.

Once I click on anything within Stellarium those orbit line disappear and then if I click on Jupiter, for instance, the orbit of Jupiter reappears (as i would have expected). Is there a way to have Stellarium show those initial lines (those shown at start-up) or do I have to leave the program an then restart it?

Thanks Bogdan Marinov, that solved my question.
