What changes/entries do I make to Stellarium?

Don't worry about what to do next in regard to input of the numbers for Stellarium. Pyhton needs to work first because doing it manually just doesn't cut it. It's too laboriously to compute the coordinates every time manually. And defeats the purpose of the celestial navigation attempt. Since you allready get to see and write your coordinates before you even make one starfix.
Good to hear Don Reed helped on the phone. I'm in the Netherlands so that wouldn't be much help. I guess it's just a matter of patience before you two can get in contact again and attempt to fix it. I know you feel like getting impatient. Whether the time spend was worth it in the end is something only you can say, afterwards. Celestial navigation is a hardcore technique, so dificulties are to be expected. But this software error should only be temporary.
