Hi all,

While I enjoy the slick feel of the new layout, it appears to be missing the skyplot graphic, which, as a visual learner and image-oriented person, I find very useful.
I can see at glance where the object is in the sky, without having to guess or research via copy & pasting the Co-ords into Sky Safari or similar.

Here is an example  https://app.astrobin.com/i/1jlc38 a wider view of a popular target, but not commonly presented. 
Below is the sky plot when seen in Classic View - it's also helpful when this graphic is clickable to magnify the target area.

I'm in the Sthn Hemisphere, so when I see an unusual presentation of a popular object, or perhaps a less frequently imaged object, my curiosity is immediately piqued. ie: perhaps it's something to consider as a future target myself? Or is it only ever in the Nthn Hemisphere? It's frustrating having to revert to "Classic View" to see where it is!

Is anyone else experiencing this issue with the otherwise nice new layout?

CS
Andy

It will begin rolling out shortly, some people were on a beta phase I just added you to early access. You'll see a notice on your gallery. Let me know if you have feedback!

Aha! Ok thankyou - sometimes it's also clickable to magnify the target area - is there some reason this example doesn't do that?

Thanks @Salvatore Iovene

At first sight it looks great, and it really helps with navigation around images. Including my personal collection.

@Salvatore Iovene , I would love if you could “flip that switch” on my account as well. 
I am doing it manually now - which is cumbersome 😂

I do realize you can’t do that for everyone upon request - so a “sorry, no can’t do” is fine as well 👍

On the classic view the sky plot provided by astrometry.net is small, so there's no need to click it to enlarge it, while the one provided by pixinsight (advanced plate-solution, AstroBin Ultimate) is a larger image so there's some benefit in clicking to enlarge it.

On the new UI it  makes no matter because you have to click to show it anyway!

No problem Christian, it's done! I'm happy to get more people using it, as I worked my butt for the last 3 months to make it I'm just being a bit too cautious about the roll out, but next week I'll start
