Using the trace option

This page explains how Stargaze can make one object in the sky leave a trail so you can see how its position has changed over time.
This option is usually used during stepping.

Display the Time lapse settings dialogue box...

Select the Trace check-box.

Click on the map to choose an object for tracing...

The trace is a series of small red crosses.
What it shows depends upon the type of map being viewed.

The trail shows how an object has moved relative to...
...your local horizon - if the Local map is being displayed.
...the background of fixed stars - on the Northern or Southern sky maps.

To clear the trace click Clear trace in the Map menu.

Cancel tracing by un-checking Trace in the Time lapse settings dialogue box.
