You don't have to select only the highlighted objects; you can
choose any object within the Planetarium View. You can select
stars or any of the object icons that appear. Zoom in, and you'll
see fainter objects.
To point Origin to the selected object, tap the crosshairs icon
next to the Object Info bar, and Origin will slew to the object.
You can also press the Object Info bar and select "Center
Object. " To access the object information screens, press the
Object Info bar and select "Object Info" from the options
provided.
A handy way to fi nd objects to observe is by tapping the
Tonight icon at the bottom of the Planetarium View. Selecting
this will display a list of all the best objects currently visible
from your location. Choose an object from the list to see its
Object Info screen (Figure 5). From there, you can press the
Locate icon at the bottom to fi nd the object in the Planetarium
View. You can also press the Center icon, and Origin will
automatically slew to the object in the sky.
Another way to fi nd objects is via the Search icon. You can
enter an object's name or designation in the search bar
or select one of the object folders and choose from the
list. Once you select an object, you'll see its Object Info
screen. From there, you can Locate or Center the object as
described above.
Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
In the lower-left corner of the Planetarium View, you'll see
the "Picture-in-Picture" (PIP), which displays a live feed
from Origin's camera. You can reposition the PIP within the
Planetarium view by dragging it. Press the "X" in the upper
right corner of the PIP to hide the PIP in the lower left corner.
Tap the right chevron that subsequently appears to unhide the
PIP. You'll see the full Camera View if you tap anywhere on the
PIP screen. The PIP and Camera View display the same view,
but the Camera View fi lls the entire screen.
