Constellation lines in annotated view gone

[harry l]

For the past 3 days I can't see the constellation lines anymore in the annotated view. How can I get them back again? I find them  important and a hugely beneficial navigation help, especially here in the southern hemisphere. I am most certain on Sigma Octans, however the label looks like delta! the constellation lines would clarify instantly.

Hi,

I just tried one and I do get constellation lines...

https://nova.astrometry.net/user_images/14300164#annotated

The web site decides what things to annotate based on the angular scale of the image -- but actually it looks constellations are always enabled, so I guess that doesn't explain it...

Could you please send a link to an example of one of your submissions on the web site, or, if possible, a before-and-after with and without the constellation lines?

cheers,

dustin

Oh -- you can also try using the "browse the sky" link, which should open the Legacy Surveys sky viewer.  There, under the "Bright objects" menu, there's also a constellations overlay, as well as a "bright stars" layer that should give you labels if you zoom in enough.

cheers,
