A [NuGet pacakge](https://www.myget.org/feed/laheller/package/nuget/IAU.Constellations) for easier integration of the library in the project is available.

Features

========

- Static methods and data, no need to instantiate classes

- All 88 IAU constellation boundary data as polygon points in both polar and XY coordinate format

- Constellation boundary independent line/arc segment data to prevent drawing twice the same line/arc

- Method to locate a constellation based on J2000 equatorial coordinate 

Build

=====

- Install Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition or newer

- Open solution file: Constellations.sln

- Build

Test
