In this task:

http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7966234

a configuration dialog for the stars plugin has been created.

Add more Configuration Options:

- Add checkboxes to turn the various objects on and off

- Add a horizontal Slider that allows to filter stars down to a certain level of magnitude (so that all stars which are more faint don't get rendered).

- Add some means to configure the color of the constellation lines.

Here is some ASCII art to get the idea:

 

[x] Constellation lines

[x] Constellation labels

[x] Deep Sky Objects

 

Magnitude limit:

------^------

1 2 3 4 5 6

 

Constellation lines: [   ]
