3D Starchart v1.2

3D Starchart 1.0 and 1.0.1 have a bug which will may cause it to crash in BeOS R3 when the star query draggers are clicked. This has been fixed.

The file "stars.dat" included with version 1.2 is derived from the Hipparchos Catalog and the Bright Star Catalog. It includes all stars with a visual magnitude of 6.5 or less for a total of about 7800 stars. The old stars.dat was derived from the 3rd Catalog of Nearby Stars, which will still work with this version of starchart if you have a copy and wish to use it. Version 2.0 will also use the Hipparchos Catalog, but it supports more stars and has a more extensive notes database.

The Intel version of Kagi-Register for BeOS was not ready at the time of this release. Look for it in the next release.

3D Starchart will run a little faster if you set the Screen Control Panel to 8-Bits/Pixel.
