Gaia field of view interactive canvas about virtualsky HOT 5 CLOSED

@ejoliet Apologies for the very slow reply. I've only just seen this message. It is great to know that someone finds it useful! I know my code isn't the best written code in the world so I'm glad you've been able to adapt it.

Unfortunately the zoom only exists for the gnomic projection because that was the most recently added. The other projections use mathematical shortcuts, based on the fact that they had a fixed field of view, to reduce the number of calculations the browser needed to do. Ideally all the projections would be zoomable/draggable/positionable.

Do you have a link to an example of what you've done with it? It would be great to see your implementation and it'll probably give me ideas of improvements and features.

Hi all
Let me join the conversation and thank you for VS, as @ejoliet did. This is a wonderful lib.
Since you asked for examples, please give a try to our modest one at http://sarmap.lescigales.org/

It may become a mobile skymap distributed though key-size wifi access points in our astronomy center. Still work in progress... Sorry, fr only for now but it can support i18n.
As @joliet wrote the +- are only available when gnominic is selected.

@fphg That is brilliant! I really like some of the things you've done there.

Wow!
Very nice front-end!
I may have a look and also would be cool if you can add catalogue from CDS
like ICRF, Panstarrs, etc.
Very cool!
In a coming weeks i'll have something ready with satellite pointing and
movement across the sky in realtime.
