JWST NIRCAM M42 issue
Cannot see the latest JWST M42 images from NIRCAM. They are in the news and it only shows black.
Roman Space Telescope observation planning tool?
I really like the JWST observation planning tool, and was wondering if you were planning to add apertures that could be overlayed for other telescopes? I am particularly interested in overlaying the Roman WFI aperture on the sky. We have an initial version of the Roman SIAF now available to support this.
Update of XMM-Newton images as soon as they become public
I would be useful to have ESASky regularly updated as soon as the data become public
Is it possible to contribute to a supported language?
As in the title - right now you support only 2 language versions - EN and ES. Is it possible to contribute by translating ESASky to Polish?

WISE Maps / Astroquery
Hello there,
As ESASky is becoming popular and it is becoming "the" missions-map hub, I'd suggest to include the WISE maps
within the astroquery API of ESASky. Currently it is possible to download those from the IRSA/IPAC webpages or using the SkyView service by Nasa, but it is not possible to do the same with ESASky.
