Please note at this time that StarView will not work from behind a proxy server. A direct port connection outward from your computer to our server on the standard http port of 80 is required for StarView to work. If StarView will not run after you install it you can test your network setup by, from a command line, typing telnet starview.stsci.edu 80 and return followed by a Control-d and another return . If you do not see a line saying Connected to starview.stsci.edu then you are behind a proxy server. Please contact your administrator and find out if there is any way to get around the proxy.
Platforms Note that starview has an auto-update feature.
You will not have to download any installers in the future, as the program will ask you if you wish to update it when updates are available and, if allowed to, will reinstall all files as needed and restart the program.
