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. &amp; 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.
