DESCRIPTION

       Stellarium is a free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real time with OpenGL. It is available
       for Linux/Unix, Windows and MacOSX.  With Stellarium, you really see what you can see with your eyes,
       binoculars or a small telescope.

       --longitude lon
           Specify the initial observer longitude, where lon is the longitude.  The format is illustrated by
           this example: +4d16'12" which refers to 4 degrees, 16 minutes and 12 arc seconds East.  Westerly
           longitudes should be prefixed with "-".

       --latitude lat

           example: +53d58'16.65" which refers to 53 degrees, 58 minutes and 16.65 arc seconds North.  Southerly

       Note: file locations on non-*nix operating systems (include OSX) may vary.  Please refer to the
       Stellarium User Guide for more details, as well as information on how to customise the Stellarium data
       files.

       /usr/share/stellarium/
           This is the Installation Data Directory set at compile-time.

       $HOME/.stellarium/
           This is the User Data Directory, which may be over-ridden using command line option -u.  It contains
           the user's settings, extra landscapes, scripts, and can also be used to over-ride data files which
           are provided with the default install.

       $HOME/.stellarium/config.ini
           The default main configuration file is config.ini. Refer to -c above to use a different filename and
           to -u to use a different User Data Directory.
