    A location based night sky background for MagicMirror
    Using the SkyView APP(a location based augmented view of the night sky with stars and satellites) i was wondering how this could be made possible for MagicMirror.

    The idea is to make use of the MagicMirror’s black background with a layer of stars that are changing during the day depending on your location.

    The old way (time based):

    The new way (location based):

    For example a nice looking Ref6.

    A few more examples of MagicMirror with use of online sky maps*:
    Example1 using the map of Ref1.
    Example2 using the map of Ref4. & Ref5.
    Example3 using the map of Ref2.
    Example4 using the map of Ref6.

    I’m sharing this to make this idea available using a module.
