What is new

The Stellarium Team has released version 23.2.

The main changes in this version:

• vectorize marker of deep sky objects
• updated support sites
• discovery circumstances of solar system objects

Behind the scenes, many more minor issues were fixed.

Telescope users

As in the 1.* series, at least on Windows, the TelescopeControl plugin seems to work better in the Qt5-based releases. Only install this if you are affected. We are looking for telescope users with programming skills to help us fix this problem. Reward possible!
