SVN commit 1152416 by asimha:
Usability fix -- set the defaults of all options to render the naked
eye view of the sky, so that a beginner finds it easier to use /
understand.
1. Guide lines (Coordinate Grid, Equator etc) are disabled.
2. Star density is set to a reasonable amount.
3. Only bright DSOs are drawn.
4. Horizon is enabled
5. Projection is set to Gnomonic by default, since it resembles the
naked-eye view the most.
