Creating a Custom Landscape for Stellarium

Do you use Stellarium to plan your Astrophotography / Astronomy sessions? How cool would it be if it showed you when objects are visible from your specific viewing site?! ....When does Andromeda rise above my hedge? What time will Orion go behind by neighbour's house? This tutorial shows you how to find out by creating your own custom landscape for Stellarium using just your smartphone and a tripod, and a bit of Photoshop editing. #Astrophotography #NOVO #ULANZI #Photoshop #Stellarium EQUIPMENT : Tripod : Novo Explora T20 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07929Y72X/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=martinsastrop-21&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07929Y72X&linkId=60b1082d83ae07e97bdd3601b1ef019e Tripod Mount for Smartphone : ULANZI ST-04 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B082HF73JW/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=martinsastrop-21&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082HF73JW&linkId=f9c5f810790cc9c6703886a80e3a6c7a SOFTWARE : Stellarium : See https://stellarium.org/landscapes.html Adobe Photoshop TECHNICAL DATA : Text for landscape.ini file : [landscape] name = MyHome author = Martin description = Back Garden, Home type = spherical maptex = landscape.png angle_rotatez = 0.0 [location] planet = Earth latitude = +55d55'55" longitude = -1d11'11" altitude = 20 atmospheric_extinction_coefficient = 0.27 atmospheric_temperature = 10.0 atmospheric_pressure = 1013.0 light_pollution = 7 USEFUL TIP : If you create a landscape.txt file using a text editor like Notepad and you then try to rename it to change the extension to .ini (as needed by Stellarium) using Window Explorer, and you have the default option selected in Windows Explorer to hide known file extensions, then you will actually have renamed it landscape.ini.txt which will not work!!! Remove the the option in Windows Explorer to hide known file extensions and then you will be able to see what the actual filename really is! Then you can rename it correctly.
