The visibility feature in Stellarium Plus is a powerful tool that allows you to see which celestial objects will be visible at a given time and place. This information can be used to plan your observing sessions, or to simply learn more about the night sky.

The visibility feature is based on a number of factors, including your location, the date and time, the current sky conditions, and the brightness of the objects. You can use the visibility feature to see the following information for each object:

• Highest altitude: The highest altitude that the object will reach above the horizon.
• Setting and rising times: The times at which the object will set and rise.
• Visibility time: The total amount of time that the object will be visible above the horizon.

The visibility feature is available in the Stellarium Plus app. To access it, simply click on the “Visibility” button in the toolbar. You can then use the controls in the visibility window to adjust the date and time, your location, and the sky conditions.

The visibility feature is a valuable tool for anyone who is interested in astronomy. It can be used to plan your observing sessions, to learn more about the night sky, or simply to see what objects will be visible at a given time and place.

Here are some additional tips for using the visibility feature:

• Use the “Location” control to set your current location.
• Use the “Date and Time” controls to set the date and time that you want to view.
• Use the “Sky Conditions” controls to set the current sky conditions.
• Use the “Filter” controls to filter the list of objects.

Note: Magnitude is a measure of the brightness of an object in the sky. The smaller the magnitude, the brighter the object. For example, the Sun has a magnitude of -26.74, while the faintest stars that can be seen with the naked eye have a magnitude of +6.0. The visibility feature in Stellarium Plus does not include magnitude, but it does include information about the brightness of objects.
