toggle layer of constellations to allow sense of scale
to give directional sense to humans, locate the device, then make a virtual zoom from the viewers perspective of the constellations as if they were looking in the direction, from their location, and then zoom through the layer of constellations to the astrological event that they have chosen to view.

Hello,
Here is a video demonstrating how you can achieve a similar result using existing ESASky functionality.
20250331-1222-30.3572456.mp4
To reproduce the result in the above screenshot:
press "Select Sky" button -> Plus icon -> Browse HiPS Registry -> search for "Constellations" in the Title column -> Press the plus icon on the row of "CONSTELLATIONS3" -> Close Browser HiPS Registry dialogue -> In the "Select Sky Panel", Press the gear icon of the row of "CONSTELLATIONS3" -> Slightly decrease the opacity
Not very straightforward, but the core functionality is there :)
Cheers,
Henrik Norman
Many thanks for your suggestion, I'm assuming you'd like similar behaviour to the World Wide Telescope: https://worldwidetelescope.org/ ?
We'll add it to our backlog of tickets.
Best regards,
Deborah
