DISPLAYING PICTURES IN THESKY6

ISSUE

How can I be sure that all TheSky6’s pictures are turned on?

RESOLUTION

1. Verify that TheSky6 can locate all the pictures databases, compressed image databases and image group databases. To do so, click Data | File Locations and then click Verify All. A green check mark in each of the folders in the Pictures folder indicates that TheSky6 can successfully locate the pictures. An exclamation mark in one or more folders indicates that some pictures are missing. Reinstalling TheSky6 using the Typical installation option, will install these files.

2. Turn on all TheSky6’s pictures options. To do so, click View | Display Explorer. Under the Sky Databases node, mark the Anglo Australian Images and Solar System Pictures options. Under the Image Groups Node, mark all the desired image groups. To view the Hubble Space Telescope images, see article 1141.

3. Turn on TheSky6’s thumbnail images. To do so, click View | Non-Stellar Options, and mark the “Plot DSS Thumbnail Images of NGC, IC, PGC, and PLN Objects” and then click OK.

TheSky6’s pictures will be turned on.

See TheSky6’s Help for more information about displaying pictures.
