Adding new stars

[JMejuto]

Hi,

it is more a question than an issue of your helpful piece of code. Is there any possibility to add new stars like Thuban or others that the user can define? It would be great for research and teaching purposes.

Thank you in advance for your time

Ah, that is a good feature idea, I'll work on adding it now 👍

Thank you so much!!

These new changes are up with the v1.5.0 release. Should be available via a pip upgrade. I will still be working on some testing for some edge cases, but it appears to be working as expected now

You can add as many new stars are you'd like by creating a newStar and added into the finalPositionOfStars() and plotStereographicProjection() with the new userDefinedStars argument

Please note that for clarity sake I changed the argument userListOfStars to builtInStars so that might impact some backwards compatibility. All the details are included with examples in the most current README.md

But otherwise I will continue to add tests and debug the existing work, so if you find any new ideas or issues or areas that could be more clear, don't hesitate to ask

Thank you for your time, that was fast! It works like a charm, be sure that it will be useful used, and appreciated in my daily work.
