I selected all available Satellites in Preferences -> Satellites.
As soon as I select "Only show visible Satellites" there is not a singe satellite on the screen.
I've downloaded the PC Version of KStars 3.5.2 and let it run in Crossover and there is the same behavior.
What I am doing wrong?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Preferences -> Satellites -> Show Satellites -> Show only visible satellites -> OK
2. Choose a location, e.g. Frankfurt, Germany
3. Pause clock
4. Set time step to 1 hour
5. Advance steps in hour.
OBSERVED RESULT
If there where satellites drawn, they will disappear at some point.
After a few steps more they come back.
EXPECTED RESULT
Satellites shouldn't disappear-
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: 11.2.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Also tested in Windows via Crossover
Oh my! It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
Playing around with the options, time and location and found out that the satellites disappear on daylight and return when it’s dark.
This is confusing because someone (like me) could think „Only visible“ means magnitude reachable with naked eye or something like that.
