generate_star_map
Generate star map
Use this when the user wants a star map or night sky poster for a date and place: the sky over a city on a birthday, wedding, anniversary or the night they met, or the sky tonight. Computes the real positions of about 2,900 stars, constellation lines and the Moon for the city's local time (time zones and DST handled) and returns a preview plus vector poster PDFs (12x18 in, 18x24 in, A3, Letter, A4) and SVG. Takes a city name, not coordinates. Does not draw planets and is not for navigation or telescope pointing.
