Coming approximately three months after the release of version 0.15.1, Stellarium 0.15.2 is here with over 100 improvements and bug fixes, along with a bunch of new exciting features like an algorithm for DeltaT, orbit visualization data for asteroids, an option for the InfoString group, support for calculating extincted magnitudes of satellites, and sednoids, a new type of Solar system objects. The list of new features implemented in Stellarium 0.15.2 continues with a classificator of objects injected into the Solar System Editor plugin, the ability to calculate and display both vertical and horizontal scales of CCD’s visible field of view, CCD binning in the Oculars plugin, along with the “Restore direction to initial values” option, various new DSO textures, as well as support for displaying solstices points.
