Setting up the Grid
The Forms page is parsed and passed into the SkyView geometry
engine. A grid is created centered on the point you entered in the
Coordinates Value box (in the case of an object name, it is resolved into
numerical coordinates using either the SIMBAD or NED name resolver).
SkyView has been developed with generous support from the NASA AISR and ADP programs (P.I. Thomas A. McGlynn) under the auspices of the High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) at the NASA/ GSFC Astrophysics Science Division.
We gratefully acknowledge the support of NASA and contributors of SkyView surveys.
