==Color Coding==
Throughout the Setup workspace, Voyager uses color to indicate the following:

*'''Black''': A normal setting
*Gold or Yellow: Use caution when changing as things may not work well or as expected
*Red: Use extreme care when changing this setting - the wrong value can damage your equipment or the imaging session may fail

 
==Planetarium Setup Workspace==
The Planetarium Setup workspace informs Voyager about your Planetarium selection:

Voyager uses the planetarium to search object and retrieve target coordinate information. Center coordinate of map showed. Get coordinate of selected object in planetarium. 

==Planetarium Choice==
The Planetarium Choice area of the Planetarium Setup workspace is where you specify the planetarium software Voyager should use:

*Hostname / IP: The hostname or IP address of the machine hosting Cartes du Ciel
*Port: The port number of the Cartes du Ciel server
*Try Start Exe On Connect: If checked, attempt to start the Cartes du Ciel executable (program) when connecting the planetarium
*Connection Test: Enter the parameters in the previous fields and click Connection Test to see if Voyager can reach Cartes du Ciel using these parameters

Note: You must enable Cartes du Ciel's TCP/IP server for this to work.

Go to Setup > General... > Server and check the Use TCP/IP server box. The port number in the Server IP port field must match the port number in Voyager's setup as shown above.
