Jungfraujoch High Altitude Research Station Landscape for Stellarium
--------------------------------------------------------------------



Description
-----------

Lying at 3580m in the Bernese Alps (Switzerland), the Jungfraujoch
is often dubbed "Top of Europe". It has been home to an astronomical
observation station for more than 80 years.

The spherical landscape image was created from 20 images taken on 
June 29th, 2008, at 1015, from the lower terrace of the Sphinx
Obervatory. 

The landscape comes in three resolutions (1024 / 2048 / 4096).



Files
-----

This file (readme.txt) should have come in a zip file together with 
a folder "jungfraujoch" containing five other files:

-- landscape.ini
-- jungfraujoch-4096.png
-- jungfraujoch-2048.png
-- jungfraujoch-1024.png
-- Sphinx-Observatory_Jungfraujoch.kmz



Installation & Use
------------------

Unzip the zip file in the <user_directory>/landscapes directory.
The location varies depending on your operating system. See the 
Stellarium User Guide for per-platform details.

Once you have installed the landscape, open Stellarium and go to the
configuration dialog.  Select the landscapes tab, and select the
landscape from the list of available landscapes.

Be shure to have the "Setting landscape updates location" button 
checked in order to correctly simulate the viewing conditions at
3580m altitude.

The landscape.ini file is configured to use the highest resolution
available. Should you experience problems using the landscape, you
might want to open landscape.ini in a text editor and replace the
line "maptex = jungfraujoch-4096.png" and replace "4096" with "2048"
or "1024" respectively.
