Night sky: planets, constellations, satellites

[lavolp3]

So I have this idea about a module in mind but I’m missing the api for it.
I’d like to have it show the following

• a random picture of a star constellation including its current position on the sky (direction and angle)
• the position of planets and remarkable stars on the sky (direction and angle)
• next passing of any starlink group. (Here I have tried to use n2yo.com but they can only filter by one satellite number and there are many starlink numbers available already)

Can anyone help me, at least with a source? Especially looking at you @Mykle1 :-)

Haha! :-)

I will tell you that I have looked for just such an api but I have been unable to find one. I will look around some more to see if I can find one but I might not let you know until I consume it. ;-)

Peace!

You do realize that I was kidding, yes? :-)

@Mykle1 No time to answer. Must find API first
