Dear Becky,

The ESASky v.4.0 has been recently launched, and the HiPS map PanSTARRS DR1 color (i,r,g) has been added. Go to  Select Sky, choose Optical and there you will find it. Additionally, since ESASky v.3.9 it is possible to add a HiPS map from your computer or choose a HiPS map from the Global HiPS registry.


Thank you very much for your suggestions.

Best regards,

Nuria Álvarez on behalf of the ESASky team

 

Dear Andy,

Today we have released ESASky 4.0 and this problem has been fixed in the new version.

Thanks for using ESASky and please keep informing us about any issues you might find.

Dear ESASky user,

Thank you for contacting the ESASky Team. 


ESASky shows the DSS2 HiPS, however maps that do not belong to ESA missions have not been generated by the ESDC, who takes no responsibility for their quality or accuracy. You can find that this object is shown in the ESO Online Digitalized Sky Survey:

You can contact the ESO Operations Helpdesk about this issue.

Dear Becky,

The ESASky team has implemented your suggestion in 3.9 release of ESASky. From this version onwards, from skies it is possible to add a HiPS generated by the ESASky team like for previews versions (Add new row), and now you can load a HiPS from an URL (HiPS from URL), from your local repository (HiPS from your computer) or browse a HiPS registry for globally available HiPS (Browse HiPS registry):

Kind regards,

The ESASky Team

Dear Ben,

Many thanks for your suggestion. Adding this feature has been considered by our team in the past but we have been focusing on adding new data and other developments. We will consider it for future releases of ESASky.

Many thanks and regards,

Nuria Álvarez on behalf of the ESASky team

Dear Oleg,

thank you for your suggestions. We will consider adding the data you propose.

Regarding the rest of items, I am not sure that you are aware that you can change the coordinate frame from equatorial J2000 to galactic with the drop-down menu on the top left corner. In doing so, the coordinates indicated on the top bar change to galactic, the Galactic plane automatically gets horizontal (you can check this by zooming out to a large field-of-view), and the grid is displayed in galactic coordinates. 

Please note that if you are using the galactic coordinate frame, all coordinates you enter, either in the search box on the top right or in a target list, will be interpreted as galactic. You will get an error if the coordinates are given in sexagesimal format, as this is not used with galactic coordinates. Also, in the case of target lists, the coordinates are read once, so if you later change to J2000, still they will be interpreted as galactic.

You'll find more information here (and links therein):

Dear Héctor,

thank you very much for your suggestion. As you may have noticed, we have recently released ESASky 3.2 with a new functionality to query external data servers. Currently only ESO, CADC and MAST are available, but we plan to include more in the future, and of course we would like that IRSA is one of them. So stay tuned!

Cheers,

Belén

Hi Michael,

thanks for spotting this! One of our engineers had forgotten to commit the last update. It should be ok now.

Cheers,

Belén

Dear Nora,

sorry for not having replied to this before. This functionality has long been available in ESASky.

Cheers,

Belén

Dear Sarah,

more recently, we developed pyESASky, which allows you not simply to query, but also to use most ESASky functionalities and even to upload your own datasets. More information here:
