-'''Main Mode'''
+'''Main Mode:'''
+:The display information is located on the top screen of the DS, and screen representing the sky on the lower screen. This mode allows you to move, zoom and select a star or a Messier object.
-The display information is located on the top screen of the DS, and screen representing the sky on the lower screen.
+'''Information Display:'''
+:The information screen provides information about viewing the sky and the star /Messier object selected.

-a Messier object.
+*Name of the constellation / Number of Messier object
+*Name of Star / Object Name Messier
+*Position (right ascension in hours: minutes, declination in degrees: minutes)
+*Apparent magnitude in the visible

 '''Important note about the positions:'''
+:The positions are purely illustrative and should not be used as source for telescopes pointing accuracy. They are nevertheless sufficient for most amateur and instruments for observing with the naked eye.
-The positions are purely illustrative and should not be used as source for telescopes pointing accuracy. They are nevertheless sufficient for most amateur and instruments for observing with the naked eye.
+:Because of the limited technical capabilities of the Nintendo DS for calculations trigonometric precision of the position is the order of one minute of arc.

-trigonometric precision of the position is the order of one minute of arc.
 '''Important note about the magnitudes:'''
+:The magnitude of the objects are given for information. Their accuracy is about hundredth of magnitude.
+:The magnitude of 5.00 is shown a magnitude limit intrinsic to the application; So if a star is displayed with a magnitude of 5.00, one must understand magnitude ≥ 5. This does not apply to the Messier objects.
+:All-Star Constellations DS should be visible to the naked eye, a beautiful night without excessive light pollution.
-The magnitude of the objects are given for information. Their accuracy is about hundredth of magnitude.
+'''Screen sky:'''
+:Sky on the screen are displayed the stars and Messier objects, and the constellation lines and a grid if enabled in options.
-The magnitude of 5.00 is shown a magnitude limit intrinsic to the application; So if a star is displayed with a magnitude of 5.00, one must understand magnitude ≥ 5. This does not apply to the Messier objects.
+:Each star is represented by a filled circle whose size depends on the magnitude of the star (the star is more brilliant, more the circle is large).
+:Messier objects are represented by circles. No formalism for existing lines of the constellations, they are given for information to better recognize and memorize the constellations by their form. The grid step is 1 hour in right ascension and declination of 15 degrees.
