Plotting the Kepler stars
Kepler Field of View
I'm looking for a way to take stellar coordinates (right ascension / declination) and plot them, so that they look like the picture below.
This is what I have now:
The trick here, is that I'd like the Kepler's field of view (those little squares) to remain squares, rotated and distorted appropriately.
A normal stellar projection (e.g. from here) look great, but results in distorted squares, as shown in the second picture.
Any thoughts about how to plot this correctly?
