Asked by w bird on 2015-04-27

LDN objects are showing up on screen. did not turn on, do not know how to turn off. was not here before latest installation. if I disable all deep sky objects the LDN go away but I would like to keep the messier objects and just get rid of the LDN. How do you do that?

You can remove LDN catalog and revert back to 0.13.2.

Replace C:\Program Files\Stellarium\nebulae\default\LDNCat_tabbed.txt wth an empty file.

If I do that what happens if I want that info later? Suggestion for future, can these DSO's be put on a selection tab so you only see the ones you want, IE: Messier, NGC, IC, LDN, etc.
