JSKy on Sourceforge

[Andreas Wicenec]

Dear all,

this is an announcement of a quite extensive update of the JSKy library and the 
associated JSkyCat application developed a number of years ago at ESO. The JSky 
library is used in a number of observations preparation tools including the one 
developed for ALMA. The latter is also the root of this update initiative, which 
includes access to VO registries, SIA, SSA and SLAP servers. It also features 
SAMP and Plastic support and a set of widgets to access the services and display 
images and overlays. The VO access is based on Mark Taylor's STIL. The VO access 
  really is an extension in the sense that the 'old' ESO Skycat/Astrores based 
access is still also maintained and available in parallel. The current features 
of the library is pretty much tuned to the usage inside bigger observation 
preparation applications, but there is a fair chance that it will be further 
updated to support real-time eaves-dropping from instruments in the future.

For more information please refer to:

and have fun using it...

Cheers,
Andreas
