Comment 5 for bug 1131847

And now this is my analysis of Stellarium snapshot.
As you can see in my study with Adobe Illustrator, used in order to superimpose an ellipse to the picture, I found what definitely is NOT a perception problem!!

As you can see from the image the ellipse is not tangent to the circumference of Saturn, as it was CLEARLY visible directly from the original picture: the shadow is incorrectly smaller than needed.

treaves, I hope I have convinced you, showing that the shadow ellipse is completely wrong, as I stated in the first post!!

Do you need other evidences of this problem? :-)

I like Stellarium very much, I always use it for my Astronomical articles in my web site (www.astronomia.com) and I always recommend Stellarium for Astronomical scientifical purposes!
BTW just these days I'm writing (in italian, sorry!) a small guide of Stellarium, you can find in the forum...

Thanks again, friends!
