Create Study

Creating a study adds a new ephemeris study of your chosen perspective to the current workspace. The new study is initialized from the workspace defaults and any default presets, then appears in the Studies list and is selected, ready for you to configure and generate.

Creating a Study

To create a study:

  • Click Ephemerides on the menu bar, then click Geocentric Ephemeris, Topocentric Ephemeris, or Heliocentric Ephemeris.

The Ephemerides menu open on the menu bar showing the three study commands.

Each ephemeris type also has a dedicated toolbar button, so you can create a study in a single click:
