Web interface displaying an image from an allsky camera.
Please make sure to remove this line from your virtualsky.json as it has put a strain on Stuart Lowe's lookup service over time.

controller.js contains the logic of the website. It has a timeout that refreshes the image after a certain amount of time. It also grabs the space weather from NOAA and displays it at the top. The constellation overlay is also generated here.
videos/index.php lists the timelapses in the videos/ directory.
keograms/index.php lists the keograms in the keograms/ directory
startrails/index.php lists the startrails in the startrails/ directory
virtualsky.json contains settings to generate the constellations overlay (lat, long, etc).
config.js is the only file you need to modify. The content is described below.
To configure the website for your own location, you will need to edit the config.js file.
