Mark a Go-To Coordinate Location?

Asked by Jon Seamans

Is it possible to easily place a marker at an arbitrary go-to location?

The MoveTo(coordinate) script is great for centering a location of interest, but it would sure be handy to mark it somehow so that if I move the field I could keep track of that go-to position.

Thank you.

Are you tried using StelMovementMgr::setFlagTracking () option?

Hi Alexander,
Yes, I tried that to no avail. I believe it's for tracking purposes and has nothing to do with fiducial marking.

I found the analogous core.selectObjectByName("object",boolean) marks the location when boolean = true, and doesn't when boolean = false. However, this marking feature does not work for move-to coordinate scripts. I'm interested in marking a location regardless if an object is there or not.

Thank your for your response and suggestion.

Stellarium doesn't have free marker.
