Mr.Osamu Kato from AltairLLC had requested a new feature "StarTrail". With ShiraPlayer 1.8.8.3 version you can simulate startrail like real astro-photography. The ShiraPlayer 1.8.8.3 also includes "Front Sky buttons" , "Star Magnitude button" and "limit magnitude slider bar". These buttons are on "Stellarium Manager Window".

 New Features

  • StarTrail fetaure , Start 30x flow rate time and show "Star Trail"
  • Front Sky buttons:  Show front face of dome according cardinal directions.
  • Star limit mag. button and slider : Change count of showing stars according their magnitude.  

As is known, the ShiraPlayer is based Stellarium opensource software. Until recently, it was used for one projector systems that includes one fisheye lens projector or normal projector with spherical mirror systems. After this, multiprojector system software developers will be able to adapt their systems to ShiraPlayer. To do this, I have developed plug-in projector class. May be find header class files in source codes who want to develop for multiprojector systems a plugin dll. This features can be used up to 1.8.9 versions.

Initially, I have developed plugin for one computer includes multiprojector systems.  Thanks to this plugin, users can projected ShiraPlayer to their dome with one more projector on same computer. That needs special warp and blend files. This files is found in ShiraPlayer main directory after install Shira MultiProjector plugin.
