If you search for an object through the search bar, the object is automatically centered, but if you just click on a target in the sky, it is not automatically centered. By clicking this icon you can center the target. But note how at the bottom right of the information window seen at above left for Vega, there is an icon of a star surrounded by a crosshair at the bottom left. You can also pull up this information window for an object by clicking on it directly in the display of the sky rather than searching for it by name. This window includes key information about your astronomical object such as its Magnitude, Distance, and Right Ascension and Declination (RA/Dec). This will automatically redirect your screen to the target, centering the object and pulling up an information window as seen at the left in the image above. When options pop up (see inset image), you can click on the selection you want. To search for an astronomical object, in the top center "Search window" click on the search magnifying glass.Finally click on ‘> USE THIS LOCATION’ up above the map to the right. Click on the correct location selection (or arrow down to your location selection and press enter once your target location is highlighted see inset image). Click on the search magnifying glass in the upper left of the map and type the location you are interested in. This will bring up a big box in the screen center as seen above.


On the top left of the window that pops up you can click the up and down arrows to change the year, month, and date, and on the top right of the window you can click the up and down arrows to change the hour, minute, and second. The "Date/time window" is brought up by clicking the digital clock in the bottom right hand corner of your screen.Image Analysis with Solar System Objects.Image Analysis II - Animation and Stacking.Image Analysis I - Image Processing and the Ring Nebula.Exploring the Sky II - Star Charts and Stellarium.Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram and Star Clusters.ASTR:1771 - Intro Astronomy I: Basic Astrophysics.ASTR:1080 - Exploration of the Solar System.ASTR:1070 - Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe.
