kandi X-RAY | SkyChart Summary
This is a skychart and some functions to look at sky images using a raspberry pi hq camera. It is very much a work in progress and nowhere close to release quality. To install clone this repository: git clone cd SkyChart. Then build the docker image: docker build -t skychart-jupyter:latest . Then use the docker-compose to start the image: docker-compose up -d. You can then hit your computer ip to see the Sky Chart: The login token you can see by running docker-compose logs. The star stacker is very much a work in progress. It is some concepts I was playing with from Benedikt Bitterli:

QUESTION
I am trying to obtain an ortographic projection of the celestial sphere, with equatorial coordinates, as seen from a certain latitude, as in the following picture:
(Grid obtained from Skychart/Cartes du ciel)
This image is a print of Skychart/Cartes du ciel, showing the equatorial grid for an observer at 23°S latitude. I want to be able to reproduce the exact same image in Python (apart from the dark blue background). My first attempt was to use CartoPy, setting the central latitude as -23, as follows:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Feb-24 at 07:43First of all, your first image is Azimuthal Equidistant Projection. So that, it is quite different from your second plot (Orthographic projection). To get the plot (first image) like that using Cartopy requires some steps that are interesting to follow. Here is the code with comments that produces the output plot that I consider a good result.

I'm exploring the possibilities of the magnificent software Skyfield by Brandon Rhodes. I've made a script to calculate conjunctions in Right Ascension between random objects. I use the following script:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jul-10 at 11:53Good question! I should add a new section to https://rhodesmill.org/skyfield/searches.html explaining this common behavior seen when subtracting two longitudes or right ascensions. The key to unraveling the mystery is to watch what happens to the angle difference at one of the moments that is showing up in your output as a phantom conjunction. I’ve attached a script which prints this for the very first event you print, between Venus and Aldebaran:
