In this task

http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7952216

the stars plugin has been extended to display constellation lines. So far it only contains the big dipper, Cassiopeia and Ursa Minor.

This task is about adding

  • Cygnus ("the swan", german: "Schwan")
  • Lyra (german: "Leier")
  • Aquila ("the eagle", german: "Adler")

Important: please use the constellation lines from this Url as a reference.

This task might require to change the stars plugin source code in a way that it allows to end a linestring and start a new linestring inside a given constellation (e.g. for Cygnus and Aquila)
