I would love to be able to render a spherical map. Something I can map to a sphere in a in a 3D software like Max or Maya. Ideally It could render at very large resolutions. |

You can use scripting functions to point to any location, set projection type and FoV. Set screenshot size to what you want, and make a screenshot. And read the Guide for more details. |

That's great, but that is target centric. It would also be great to have something camera centric. So that I could rotate the camera 10 degrees on its Y axis for example. I realized that this software is coming from a different perspective than I am. I'm visual effects artist. I often have to put stars in skies. Thos skies need to be complete domes. Most clients don't care about accuracy but if I want to be accurate, there are very few options. |

If you target coordinates, you can do almost everything. Just move in azimuth and altitude. You cannot rotate the camera in a rolling fashion (along the optical axis), though. |

Thanks for your help. and sorry for being a "noob" but can you explain to me how I can do that? I've been looking through all the gui and can't seem to find anything. I've only been able to rotate the camera by mashing the left and right arrow keys. Does that require some scripting? |

My first answer was to use scripting functions, yes. https://stellarium.org/doc/0.18/scripting.html Find StelMovementMgr::moveToJ2000(), moveToAltAzi(), zoomTo(). |

Regular users don't need it, they operate much more intuitively with the mouse. Such GUI is in the specialized RemoteControl plugin web GUI. |
