    The Sky Plot () plots longitude/latitude positions onto the celestial sphere. It can plot to a number of projections (currently Sin, Aitoff and Plate Carrée).

    The positional coordinates are Longitude and Latitude, specified in degrees. When supplying them, you can specify an associated Data Sky System (Equatorial, Galactic, Supergalactic or Ecliptic2000). Note that this is the sky system of the data coordinates, not (necessarily) of the plot you want to see. To specify the coordinates you want the data to be plotted on, use the View Sky System option in the Projection tab of the Axes control. However, if you just want to view the data using the same system as the coordinates you are supplying, you can ignore leave these values as their default (both Equatorial) and no conversion will be done.

    The sky plot offers the following plot controls:

    See the Window Overview for features common to all plotting windows. The following subsections describe navigation and axis configuration.

How to Utilize Surveyor Forums

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
