You can add new satellites to KStars default satellites set by editing
the kstars/data/satellites.dat file. As each line of this file is a group of satellites,
you need to add a new entry for your desired satellites group. An entry should
have the following format: Group Name;local_filename;url. For
example: Iridium;iridium.tle;http://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements
/iridium.txt.
18.2.7 Supernovae
The Supernovae page allows you to decide if the supernovae are displayed or not
by checking the Show supernovae checkbox. By default, supernovae are drawn
as small light orange “+” mark. As for satellites, the color of supernovae can be
easily customized using the Colors page.
You can configure KStars to check for newly discovered supernovae on startup
by checking the Check for Recent Supernovae on Startup checkbox. This
way, KStars will be always up-to-date with the most recent supernovae. You can
enable supernova alerts using the Enable Supernova alerts checkbox.
Thus, KStars will automatically alert you every time it learns of a new supernova
