+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBKStars\fP is a graphical desktop planetarium for KDE. It depicts an
+accurate simulation of the night sky, including stars, constellations,
+star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, all planets, the Sun, the Moon,
+comets and asteroids. You can see the sky as it appears from any
+location on Earth, on any date.
+.PP
+The user interface is highly intuitive and flexible. The display can
+be panned and zoomed with the mouse, and you can easily identify
+objects and track their motion across the sky. KStars includes many
+powerful features, yet the interface is clean and simple and fun to use.
+.PP
+Normally KStars launches a full graphical user interface. By passing the
+\fB\-\-dump\fP option, you can make KStars dump an image of the sky to
+a graphics file and exit immediately without launching a graphical user
+interface at all. Several other options are available to control
+precisely how this image is dumped.
+.PP
+This application is part of the official KDE edutainment module.
+.SH OPTIONS
+Below are the kstars-specific options.
+For a full summary of options, run \fIkstars \-\-help\fP.
+.PP
+Options that can be used when starting the full graphical user interface
+are as follows.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-date\fP \fIdate-and-time\fP
+Starts with the simulation clock set to the given date and time (default is
+current date and time).
+.TP
+\fB\-\-paused\fP
+Starts with the simulation clock paused.
+.PP
+Options that can be used when dumping an image of the sky are as
+follows.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-dump\fP
+Dumps the sky image to a graphics file and exits immediately.
+Several other options (described below) are available to control
+precisely how the image is dumped.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-date\fP \fIdate-and-time\fP
+Specifies the date and time for the sky image to dump (default is
+current date and time).
+.TP
+\fB\-\-filename\fP \fIimage-file\fP
+Dumps the sky image to the given file (default is \fIkstars.png\fP).
+.TP
+\fB\-\-height\fP \fIpixels\fP
+Specifies the height of the sky image to dump (default is 480).
+.TP
+\fB\-\-script\fP \fIscript-file\fP
+Specifies a DCOP script to run before the sky image is dumped.
+The script can be used to set where the image is pointing, set the
+geographic location, set the time and date, change the zoom level, and
+adjust other view options.
+.br
+KStars includes a script builder (found in the Tools menu) to help
+with writing DCOP scripts. The full user documentation (discussed
+below) contains a more detailed explanation of how such scripts can
+be written and used.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-width\fP \fIpixels\fP
+Specifies the width of the sky image to dump (default is 640).
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.BR indiserver (1).
+.PP
+Full user documentation is available through the KDE Help Centre.
+You can also enter the URL
+\fIhelp:/kstars/\fP
+directly into konqueror or you can run
+`\fIkhelpcenter help:/kstars/\fP'
+from the command-line.
+.PP
+If the KDE Help Centre is not installed then you can install the package
+\fIkdeedu-doc-html\fP and read this documentation in HTML format from
+\fI/opt/trinity/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kstars/\fP.
