Multi Laser planetarium in python3 for LJ.
v0.01
Sam Neurohack

Make sure to understand altitude/azimuth coordinate system.


Display all solar planets and hipparcos catalog objects below a given magnitude. Accuracy tested against apparent data and starchart at https://www.calsky.com/cs.cgi?cha=7&sec=3&sub=2

It's an alpha release so a little hardcoded :

- set observer position (find SkyCity, SkyCountryCode) in main.py like 'Paris' and 'FR'
- set observer date/time in InitObserver() arguments (default is now in UTC)
- set what sky part you want to display for each laser in 'LaserSkies' variable : Define alitude and azimuth for top left and bottom right of each laser.

It needs more libraries than plan. Currently it relies on the awesome astropy, skyfield,...

Soon some pictures.

To Run :

Launch LJ first
python3 main.py 

For debug options and more type : python3 --help


To install :

Install LJ first.
go3.sh install required python3 modules 

NB :
- if you get an year error out of range : install the last skyfield "python-skyfield" in github.  
- Read main.py

Remember : LJ will automatically warp geometry according to alignement data before sending to lasers. See webUI.
