On click sky surface brightness value #3668
Comments
We stop extinction computations near -2° because (1) the model does not deliver them (see Fig. 19.6 in the User Guide) but (2) this is usually irrelevant, given real horizon cover for observers on the ground. This has been suggested before (#1404). "Clicking somewhere in the sky" will usually select the nearest star, though. |
Hello @Krukarius! Thank you for this suggestion. |
Hi Georg,
Yes, I mean the Show My Sky, where this feature could be applied. Would it
take long time to develop?
Thank you in advance for your reply,
Best regards,

This code says only a little to me to be fair. I would rather see these formulas standalone in some publications if possible. |
The solution seems to only be concerned with light pollution, not any other sources of skylight. As for ShowMySky, it must be noted that it doesn't simulate airglow, instead doing some hacks similar to those in the Preetham model code.
It's not trivial, because the actual formulas used in the ShowMySky model are those required for simulation (the results being cached in textures). Some references to the paper used as the base for the implementation can be seen here. The input for these formulas though is variable, and it's different from the atmosphere parameters used in the paper. Finally, yes it's possible to implement computation of luminance of a given direction in the sky, just as it's currently done for the luminance of zenith to enable computation of exposure. But it needs someone capable of coding to find some free time for this. |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When we click on any star or the Sun, we have its visual brightness in magnitude.
Noticed, that this magnitude is computed even if the Sun goes below the horizon. At a solar depression of about 2 degrees, the magnitude value starts to increase rapidly despite the airmass extinction, which I don't understand why. Later it disappears completely. My problem is a lack of knowledge about the twilight brightness at any stage of twilight.
Describe the solution you'd like
We have nothing shown when clicking on any part of the sky. I am wondering about the option of displaying the sky surface brightness at the given time of the day considering the standard atmosphere and its brightness against the:
Describe alternatives you've considered
There is no other alternative. I am looking for a decent formula for computing it
Additional context
I could map the sky surface brightness value based upon computations such as these.
