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.
Earth?
Liek, i no that the telecsope is inside the earth, but WHY can not we view the planey eatrhrth with it!????? smh fixthis now smh smd
add more targets to the dice feature
Congratulations on version 3.0. I think the switch between explorer and science makes sense.. However, when you click on the dice feature more than 10 times, you start to see the same objects again and again. Would it be possible to add more objects, like e.g. those from the target lists? It seems to me that there are many more objects in the target lists than the ones you can find with the dice feature. Am I wrong?
