[Kstars-devel] default setting for faint limit

[Jason Harris]

Hello,

The current default value for magLimitDrawStar (the faint limit for stars) is 
9.0, which will load 126,000 stars and use over 100 MB of system memory.  
Would it be wise to lower the default value to 8.0 so that only 40,000 stars 
are initially loaded and the program uses ~50 MB of system memory?  

Also, a reminder that our dynamic reloading of stars code is not working at 
the moment, and that this will need to be fixed for 3.2.

regards,
Jason
