Reprojection of spherical grid onto survey plane The last step before retrieving the data is to take the grid from the sphere and project it into a survey plane. The user grid plane is overlayed onto the survey grid plane and the data for each pixel can be retrieved. Note, that the user grid may no longer be straight lines causing an error in flux in the final image depending on the resampling choosen (see next section about how SkyView resamples an image).
