View the night sky as ancient man did.
For eons, man has looked up at the night sky. What did they see before 1922?
This project is still in the planning stages.
You can view the documentation at digitalvapor.github.io/asterisms.
If you have any problems with installation, or would like to suggest an improvement, simply create an issue on the project's Github page: https://github.com/digitalvapor/asterisms
There are a few dependencies for Asterisms. Numpy and Skyfield should be enough for the minimal inner workings. Vondrak is needed if you wish to precess any stars throughout history. Matplotlib is used with the basic cartography methods.
- Numpy -
pip install numpy - Skyfield -
pip install skyfield - Vondrak -
pip install vondrak - Maplotlib -
pip install matplotlib
