StingRA: A Quick Look-up for Astronomical Objects in Chrome
StingRA is a Chrome add-on developed by hp.osborn that provides a convenient way to look up astronomical objects. Whether you're interested in stars, galaxies, nebulae, or any other celestial objects, StingRA allows you to easily query and retrieve relevant information.
With StingRA, all you need to do is highlight the name of the object you want to search for, and then click on the add-on. This will bring up a deep sky (2POSS) image, a finding chart, and magnitudes in any available bands. Additionally, StingRA provides links to Simbad, the WorldWideTelescope, and ADS publications related to the selected object.
StingRA was created at dot astronomy 8 by Jonathan Fay and Hugh Osborn. It is a free add-on available for Chrome users, making it a valuable tool for anyone interested in exploring the wonders of the universe.
