    Get your desired view on screen in Stellarium and then hit the ALT & Prints Screen buttons simultaneously.

    This copy's what's on your Stellarium screen to the Windows clipboard.

    Next go to your Desktop or start button and open a graphics program of you choice that let's you "paste" in an image (I use Windows "Paint" program which should be located under 'Accessories' under your 'All Programs menu).

    Under 'edit' select 'paste' and there you go!

    Now you can crop or modify the image as you need and when you are happy with it don't forget to SAVE it!

    Well the other guy is dead on so I don't have much to add - hit PrintScrn above the directional cursors and paste it in to your graphics prog, you do have to have an open document though although the size of the document doesn't matter.

    Lol - though its slightly off-topic its nice to see a question that doesn't seem to be being asked by someone with... problems. Eg: Is the world really going to end in 2012? *Rolls eyes*

    Should be Function ("fn" sign enclosed on a box) simultaneous with Print Screen ("prt sc" enclosed in a box) in standard notebook keyboards of 104 keys. Try if you are successful through MS Paint.

    Have you tried the PrintScreen key, and then pasting it into whatever graphics software you use? You should be able to paste it into Paint if you don't have any other.
