Slow beats under a deep night sky, and a brass telescope waiting: draw your own constellation, or visit real planets and stars.
✦
The Telescope
Put your eye to the brass and choose a lens.
Tap a star, then another, to draw a line between them. Tap the same star twice to lift your pen. When it feels finished, give it a name and a legend.
On a keyboard: arrow keys move between stars, Enter draws to the star, Escape lifts the pen, Backspace takes back the last line.
Your constellations stay in this browser on this device. They are never sent to the Inn or anyone else. Clearing your browser’s data clears them too, so download any you want to keep.
My sky
No constellations kept yet. Draw your first, name it, and keep it here.
Real planets and stars, with their real names. Painted with a little magic, true to how they look.
