World Wind Add-on
I mentioned NASA World Wind in my previous post and said that it was possible to add data layers. I have been exploring the add-on possibilities and noticed that the Telescopes add-on doesn't seem to be available at the moment. So, I have started to put together my own Observatory add-on with individual icons for each observatory and links to home pages. Below is a screenshot of Europe to show what it looks like so far.

I'll have to download this and check it out! Since we've seen google maps versions of the Moon, Mars, and even Europa, I'm always wondering when we'll see a version of the sky with overlays from diffent all-sky surveys.
Perhaps with this new NASA World Wind software, we can make our own sky overlays?

Brandon, I think that is the case although I'm not sure how you go about putting mapping data in. I should have mentioned that the Sloan Digital Sky Survey is another 'world' that can be chosen.

I fixed the link, I would love to see your add-on too. http://www.twobeds.com/nasa/bull/World_Wind_1.3.1_Telescopes_1.0.exe
