Plugin Demo
The sky map is available as a standalone JavaScript plugin — no build tools required. Load skymap.min.js from a CDN and call SkyMap.init({ target, theme, … }) to embed a fully interactive canvas inside any container. Multiple independent instances can coexist on the same page, each with its own theme, controls and configuration. This demo shows two side-by-side: Night Mode with autoplay, and Elegant centred on Auriga with star names.
