There appears to be an error in the documentation regarding increasing/decreasing the field of view with the mouse:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21755
The 4.2Mb and 8.0Mb versions of the User Guide. And (I think) somewhere I found a brief file listing the Celestia Controls too, but can't now find it. Regards.

I've attached updated DOC files for your convenience. Be advised that I only have OpenOffice Writer installed and that I've seen format changes occur when saving DOC files from that. I'm sure that the original author (or someone with an identical version of MS Word) would be in the best position to make any changes, if doing so is worthwhile. I tried contacting Frank, but he doesn't appear to exist anymore.
I believe that the Celestia Controls should read:
, ........ Narrow Field Of View [Shift+Up Drag]
. ........ Widen Field Of View [Shift+Down Drag]
and not:
, ........ Narrow Field Of View [Shift+Left Drag]
. ........ Widen Field Of View [Shift+Left Drag]
as it currently does. Thank you.
