To the great distress of many people, Mac OS 9 broke something with respect to the beloved and quirky After Dark 4.0 screen saver. It has been reported that the After Dark engine is incompatible with Mac OS 9, but for whatever reason, it simply will not work on Mac OS 9 equipped Macs. Happily, there is an answer to that, and this blog post addresses it.

There is a patched version of After Dark for OS 9 that can be downloaded from the Macintosh Garden site, at http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/after-dark-os-9. Someone going by the screen name of Daxeria produced this patched version, earning the acclaim and adulation of the entire Mac OS 9 using Macintosh community, I am sure. However, when you install it and restart, you may be a little disappointed. It has only the most basic of screen savers, After Dark’s initial starry night screen saver. Where, oh where are the beloved flying toasters, bad dogs and the rest of the crazy and lovable characters from After Dark 4.0??

Take heart. I have recently installed After Dark onto Mac OS 9.1, flying toasters and all, and this post provides a step by step “recipe” for repeating this feat.

Starry Night Backyard (Mac abandonware from 1999) To date, Macintosh Repository served 1436548 old Mac files, totaling more than 285140.4GB!

First things first. To be successful, you will need to have a copy of After Dark 4.0, so lets start with this and get a copy. In my case, I had purchased a copy on eBay some time ago, and had it installed on a Mac OS 8.6 machine, so I was “good to go”. If you do not already have After Dark 4.0, you will need to acquire a copy. You can do this either by buying it on eBay as I did, or downloading it from http://www.macintoshgarden.org at this URL http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/after-dark-40.

Once you have After Dark 4.0, to install a full After Dark for Mac OS 9.x, do the following:

1/ Download After Dark for Mac OS 9 from the above URL. https://seoyuseohz.weebly.com/mapfactor-navigator-12-free-key.html.

2/ Install this version of After Dark by dropping the After Dark 9 control panel into your Control Panels folder, and the After Dark Files folder also into your Control Panel folder.

1. Starry Sky Stacker reduces noise in pictures of the night sky that are captured as a sequence of exposures using an equatorial mount or some other mechanism that ensures that stars move very little either during or between exposures. Starry Sky Stacker aligns the images to.
2. First was the Starry Night Pro CD that installs on both Windows and Mac computers. In addition, 2 “PlusPaks” CDs were included. PlusPak 1 adds additional Mars, Moon, and Earth high-resolution planet-surface and horizon images as well as a 16-minute mini-movie.

3/ Restart your Mac and make sure that you can access and run the newly installed After Dark screen saver. As mentioned above, it will have only a few boring screen savers available, but those screen savers are not the objective of this step anyway.

The key objective of this step is that a Mac OS 9 compatible version of the After Dark engine has now been installed, and all of the necessary folder structures and support files are now in the right places.

4/ From the After Dark 4.0 that you either have previously installed, or have just acquired from the above URL, open the After Dark Files folder. From there, copy over the After Dark 4.0 folder’s contents (this is where you will find your beloved flying toasters, and many, many more quirky and fun screen savers) to the same named folder in your Control Panels After Dark Files folder.

5/ Repeat this procedure for the After Dark Images folder – copy over the contents of the After Dark 4.0 folder’s After Dark Images folder to the same named folder in your Control Panel folder’s After Dark Files.

6/ Restart your Mac

Your After Dark 9 install should now provide access to all of the wild and wonderful screen savers you know and love from After Dark 4.0.

7/ Enjoy! https://heremload601.weebly.com/finder-show-macintosh-hd.html.

Nearly everyone can identify the Big Dipper, and possibly Orion, in the night sky. But if asked to point to a constellation such as Cygnus or Cassiopeia, most of us would probably just shrug. Imaginova’s Starry Night Enthusiast 5.0 places the sky at your fingertips, making learning the constellations fun and easy.

SkyGuide, the most notable new feature, uses a series of simple text and illustration lessons to teach you how to measure angular distances along the dome of the sky with your hands and fingers, and how to use the Big Dipper’s stars as pointers to other stars and constellations. To begin using the program, you select a viewing location from a list of cities, towns, and other landmarks. Using Night Sky Tours, you view your night sky as it appears throughout the year. The program prints star charts that you can easily transport for quick studies and outdoor stargazing.

Bundled with a 104-minute DVD, SkyTheater, and the 192-page Starry Night Companion illustrated book, Starry Night Enthusiast delivers a personal planetarium. You can view the sky from different locations, as it appeared in the past, and as it will look in the future. By selecting different rates of time flow, you can watch the sky go through daily, seasonal, and even millennial changes. For example, if you set the viewing rate to one day per time step, the planets appear to sweep across the constellations of the zodiac.

Cruising into Space

SkyGuide’s Quick Find feature lets you travel through interstellar space while Starry Night displays the galaxies in 3-D. Cruising through the Virgo Cluster, which is densely packed with constellations, is especially spectacular.

The program’s Spaceship mode allows you to cruise, at speeds of up to 50 million light-years per second, to any of 28,000 distant galaxies, but it’s difficult to master, as are Starry Night’s other manual navigational controls. And the program’s display options, which control the brightness of stars, rendering of planetary surface detail, and display of planets’ and moons’ orbital paths, are complicated by an unfriendly interface that makes finding a specific setting difficult.

Imaginova released version 5.0 prematurely; a number of annoying bugs mar the program. It installs in your Mac OS X root folder rather than in the Applications folder, for example, and you have to eject the installation discs manually. Cursor behavior is erratic: the cursor’s shape (arrow, hand, resizing tool, and so on) doesn’t change correspondingly as the mouse moves over different types of objects in the user interface. On-screen text is sometimes cut off and therefore unreadable. And the program occasionally leaves you stuck staring into a vast star field—doing a 180-degree turn to fix the point of view is not always easy to manage. Version 5.0.1, which Imaginova says will address these problems, should be available by the time you read this.

The Pro version of Starry Night 5.0 offers extensive astronomical databases and can automatically aim digitally controlled physical telescopes at selected viewing targets such as planets and moons. While serious astronomy buffs may find that advanced features such as these are useful, Starry Night Enthusiast will satisfy casual stargazers.

Both Starry Night versions, Enthusiast and Pro, offer a wealth of astronomical information, including the lengthy bundled DVD and illustrated book. Once the bugs are fixed, this appealing program will be the perfect ticket to a voyage into any night sky. https://herecup535.weebly.com/4team-mac-os.html.
