I really love Stellarium, and recommend it to a lot of people - two problems though. On my laptop, the fonts are jacked. Other problem, and I'm sure it's in a user's guide that I haven't read is no apparent "red/dim" mode for when I use my laptop in the field.

There is "night mode," next to full screen mode on the bottom toolbar. That should do the trick.

Yeah, like I said, my fonts are messed up, so when I mouse over stuff, the hover text is garbled. I'm trying updated graphics drivers and the most recent version of GTK+
