    • A location based night sky background for MagicMirror

      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.
