Suggestion for the celestial program: to be able to visualize the celestial planisphere from any selected planet.

Components

I have done the above Gif to illustrate in more detail what the integration of this new function for the Celestia program might look like.

We choose a geographic location of the selected planet by clicking where we want, then, the celestial planisphere corresponding to that marked point will be displayed on screen.

You could zoom the displayed planisphere in order to visualize a specific point of it and draw a star map with it, if you want.

Proposal

The program Celestia is impressive with its spatial visualization of coordinates and orbits, however, I have thought that it could be even better having the option of visualizing the celestial planisphere from a certain point.

Mockups / Examples

Benefits

Work could be done to follow a celestial diagram with the visualization of the celestial planisphere incorporated into the program.

The order of the stars could be visualized from any geographic point on the planet without having to travel to that point.

We would have a new function that gave us a better analysis by combining it with Celestia's other functions.
