I tried stellarium. Its not as bad a cpu hog as celestia.
I also edited ~/.stellarium/config.ini
and set Location to San Diego, USA and it belched:
Warning: location "San Diego, USA" is unknown
Got the same warning using San Diego, California, USA
So, it seems I cannot see the view from San Diego
I would not mess with the config.ini,
use the User Interface.
Use the Location setting dialog available via the left-column
"pop out", it is hidden. : There are many setting options therein.
By default, location is set to France
I tried San Diego, No Errors
I tried Portland, OR, USA: No errors
I tried many other locations: No errors
