This is such a cool idea. I bought this star for my kids Amelia and Alicia but having spent my youth welded to a Sextant, I find this project rekindling an interest in the old Astro Navigation skills. Lets get the ecliptic and first point of Aries etc on the main view? All the very best to the Skymap Team. What a fantastic idea! Chich.
