       Please report bugs using the bug tracker link in the NOTES section of this page.

       Stellarium is a free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real time with OpenGL. It is available
       for Linux/Unix, Windows and MacOSX.  With Stellarium, you really see what you can see with your eyes,
       binoculars or a small telescope.

       Note:  file  locations  on  non-*nix  operating  systems  (include  OSX)  may  vary.  Please refer to the
       Stellarium User Guide for more details, as well as information on how to customise  the  Stellarium  data
       files.

       /usr/share/stellarium/
           This is the Installation Data Directory set at compile-time.

       $HOME/.stellarium/
           This  is the User Data Directory, which may be over-ridden using command line option -u.  It contains
           the user's settings, extra landscapes, scripts, and can also be used to over-ride  data  files  which
           are provided with the default install.

       $HOME/.stellarium/config.ini
           The  default main configuration file is config.ini. Refer to -c above to use a different filename and
           to -u to use a different User Data Directory.

       $HOME/
           The default screenshot directory. Refer to --screenshot-dir to use a different path.
