Stellarium

satellite hints colour coding

Asked by Paul

Hola, I have been a Stellarium user for many years, mainly to get the best from my astro photography. I was just following the ISS orbits, looking for any close passes to the moon, and realised the satellite hints use various colours to denote a difference. Is there an agenda for these colours anywhere to explain the differences and meanings. Many thanks for the facilities and support.

No any explanation for different colors of the satellites. Each satellite has individual setting for the color of marker and we use it for grouping satellites by type. Plus different versions of Stellarium has changes in the colors for satellites (for catalog by default).

Can you help with this problem?
