New interface introduction – Astronomical Image Overlay

The SKY-MAP team is happy to introduce new interface we are working on right now called Astronomical Image Overlay. It allows (by adding single line of code to a page that show one or more astronomical images) to add new cool layer of other images overlapping same patch of the sky (drag mouse over the image below and you will notice the line of other images that you can zoom by moving mouse over):

If you want to add this interface to your page, simply add this line of code at the end of your html file, before </body> tag:

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://sky-map.org/js/astroOverlay'></script>

Moreover, you can simply add this interface right in your browser to any page you are visiting by simply putting following code in browser’s location (URL) following by <Enter>:

javascript:a=document.createElement('script');a.src='http://sky-map.org/js/astroOverlay';a.onload=function(){astroOverlay()};document.body.appendChild(a);void+0

or put that line in your browser’s bookmarks toolbar, and by clicking on it current page you are visiting will be enriched with the AstroOverlay interface (currently doesn’t work in Internet Explorer). The interface is new and we are still working on fixing bugs and user experience improvements. Feel free to give it a try and let us know what’s your experience with this new feature.

  7. This really is wonderful. We are laying in my own hotel room in Killarney studying all of these observations. Several are good and a few fail to make a lot of sense whatever. I’m just on holiday but nonetheless , I just could hardly help myself away from taking a look around this blog site despite the fact my hotel room now in Killarney bills web consumption on an hourly basis.hotels in killarney ontario canada,hotels in killarney ontario

    I most certenly liked your angle that you have on the topic. Certainly wasn’t planning on this at the time I started browsing for tips. Your ideas were totally simple to get. Happy to find out that there’s an individual online that gets it on the spot what its is talking about.
