Changing Your Home Location
The first time Starry Night™ opens, a dialog box opens that asks you to set your home location.
Once you have done this, you do not need to change your home location unless you move. To change
your home location, follow these steps:
1. Choose “Starry Night™ Small Dome Edition > Set Home Location”. This displays a list of cities
throughout the world.
2. Use the scroll bar on the right to look through the list. If your home city is listed, click on its name
to highlight and click “Save As Home Location”. If your city is not listed, proceed to step three.
3. Click the “Latitude/Longitude” tab. Enter your latitude and longitude. You can enter values in
degrees; degrees and minutes; or degrees, minutes and seconds. You must also enter a time zone,
which is calculated according to the time difference from London, England. For example, all
communities on Eastern Standard Time are five hours behind London, so you would enter “-5h”,
if you are on Eastern Standard Time. If you do not know your latitude, longitude, and time zone,
click “Lookup Lat/Long” on Internet for resources that will help you find this information.
4. Once you have entered your coordinates, click “Add Location to List”. This opens a window
for you to enter your city, province or state, and country. Click “Add Location” when you have
entered this information.
5. Finally, click “Save As Home Location”.

The viewing location display tells you from where in space you are viewing. If you are viewing from
the Earth, your city name will show up in the display. If you are observing from another planet, the
display shows this information.
