FOV 360° shortcut key

Asked by Phongsathon Kitchawet

Is there FOV (Field of View) 360° or show all sky in Stellarium?

The maximum FOV that I saw is 180°. The shrtcut is Ctrl+Alt+1 in Stellarium 0.14.0.

If there is FOV 360°, it will be very useful.

Thanks. :)

You can change value of FOV to 360 degrees in Field of View plugin

Thanks Alexander.

I opened Field of View plugin and changed the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + 0 from 0.5 to 360.
Please see the picture here:

But it did not shows all sky in the circle or the zenith in the center.

So I had to use the up arrow 4 times to make the view like this.

Is there a shortcut key to show the zenith in the center in stead of using arrow key or dragging the mouse?
Or can I use the shortcut key only 1 time to show all sky in the circle and the zenith is in the center?

1) You are using the projection with max FOV in 235 degrees
2) Plugin is setting FOV but he is not changes direction of view

After you told me, I tried other projections with max FOV in 360° that is Equal area and Hammer-Altoff.
So now I understand more about FOV and projections in Stellarium.

Thanks again Alexander. :)

PS: In the future version, is it possible to show the zenith or nadir point mark instead of showing azimuthal grid?
