Starry Night Backyard 3.1.2 Release Notes

The following is a list of Starry Night Backyard bugs which were fixed for version 3.1.2. If you find that any bugs in this list do not work, or if you discover any new bugs, please e-mail us at support@starrynight.com.

  1. A find for "Bootes" now works.
  2. Adding a "planetoid" using the Orbit Editor no longer crashes Starry Night.
  3. Orbital elements of objects from the "asteroids.txt", "comets.txt" and "satellites.txt" files are now greyed out in the Orbit Editor.
  4. If you double-click on a satellite in the Planet List that is beneath the horizon, it now resets the time to the object's transit time, insteads of 15 minutes after its rise time. This is handy for quick satellites like the ISS, which is already beneath the horizon 15 minutes after it rises.
  5. If you add a planetoid using Orbit Editor, default orbital elements format is no longer AMSAT.
  6. Auto-update feature (found in the File->Preferences->Startup menu) now automatically updates comet, asteroid and satellite data.
