Observability calendar

This web-tool generates an observability calendar for an object, showing the fraction of the data that will be ruined by satellite trails. The method is described in our paper Bassa, Hainaut and Galadi (2021) PDF. The code is available on GitHub:ohainaut/SatConAnalytic.

Please use this page only for casual exploration. If you want to generate many plots, please contact us.
