# slippy-astro-images

Demos how to display astronomy images as slippy web maps.

* Start from a single FITS image, extract header to text file and image as PNG.
* Static web pages, can be hosted anywhere (no image server needed)
* Wanted: pan, zoom, interactive marker and circle overlay, world coordinates, navigation search field, contours
* Not the goal here: how to run image servers.

TODO: make this a feature matrix and show which demo does what with checkboxes.

I'd be interested to turn this into a set of docs and a Python package that
helps people get started and prepare input images (e.g. create tiles).

Feature and pull requests welcome!

If you have any questions, email [Christoph](https://github.com/cdeil) and [Arjun](https://github.com/vorugantia).
