Night sky with constellations in globe sail
Replace the current night sky with major constellation, planets and North star display only. Could serve as navigation aid and have something else to see during nighttime sailing. Maybe even add the use of a sextant to practice celestial navigation.
I am working on a Unity project which will incorporate the Bright Star Catalog into the night sky. Right now I have an ocean and an horizen and am working on getting one star in the sky, then the catalog with emphasis on stars that can be used in celestial navigation. I will report my progress.

It would be awesome if the night sky depicted the actual stars and constellations. I would love to see the Southern Cross.
