I admit that although I am a (former) astrophysicist I gave kstars
only the briefest of looks in the past. I just fired it up because you
made me curious. A really neat idea, by the way.
Can you, please, elaborate in what way is the idea embodied in kstars
different than the star maps an astrophysicist would use?
Go to Settings -> Configure Kstars and try to reduce "star density"
(in the "catalogs" tab). As far as I can tell, this effectively limits
the magnitude of shown object.
I think it does a balance of luminosity and density. In other words, the
more stars there are in a region, the more light they need to be in
order for kstars to show them. That works for me quite nicely. Thank you
very much.
Also, in the same screen you can disable "deep sky" catalogs.
Those are also disablable (what a wonderful word) from the toolbar,
which I have managed to find.
I might have goofed or done something you don't want to do.
No, you definitely solved it for me. Thank you very much.
