Very useful tool and great effort! I use it to create maps of my journeys through the galaxy. Couldn't live without it. Is there any way to have it open with another layer other than the heat map? Say the Galaxy+Regions layer? Thanks
Hi there! Yep, you can. For example:
https://edastro.com/galmap/?layer=galaxyregions
Available layers:
- indexedheat
- sectors
- regions
- starclass
- heatmap
- galaxymap
- galaxysectors
- galaxyregions
- saturation
- averagebodies
Worked perfectly. Thank you! I used the ampersand separator and combined your suggestion with the loading of my custom JSON file containing positions in the galaxy and got what I wanted. Very useful and professional looking.

Dear Sir, Thank you for this invaluable resource.Great! Looks pretty awesome. I don't always get to see how people are using it, so this is really cool.
Currently I don't have a support page/option. I've avoided taking money for it, so that it doesn't start to feel like a job.
I just want to let you know that the certificate on edastro.com has expired. And in three days the domain name registration will also expire.
Is this the end of the site's life?
Ok, here's my problem. I am looking for some stray bio in Keplers Crest, it should be there but hasn't yet been discovered. According to what I understand they only appear around Y class stars, but the gravity and atmospheric requirements of the bio mean planets/moons with the right requirements almost never show up in actual Y class systems. It's much more likely they will be found in a system with another star as primary but a Y class as secondary or even in a planetary orbit. Is there a way to pull a list of stars in Keplers Crest that have Y class stars as secondaries?
Can someone explain to me exactly what the sector view page is? Does it show star density? Scans? Ship jumps? There is no explanation and there's no labels on the chart. Just color codes and numbers, of, I don't know.

Visited stars for that sector by density, you can see this clearly by selecting popular sectors and seeing the tracks of players as they all move along the same path, gives you a chance to get away from the most visited areas.
Select the sector Boewnst and you will see what I mean.
Thanks. After posting this I spent some time on the Canonn discord server talking to someone about it and he explained it to me. I was confused as I was looking at the Col 70 sector, specifically Col 70 Sector FY-N c21-3, and it was in a blue zone. It didn't occur to me that it was showing explored systems above and below that area. I would suggest adding an "about" sentence or two to that page and labels for the graph on the left so newbs like me don't get confused.
Quick question about the way data displays or is restricted on the map - I have a Fleet Carrier and the personalized name does not show. I see when looking at the layer for "Recent Carriers (mobile)" some carriers show the player-generated name and the call sign for the carrier, while others just show the call-sign (like mine). Is there any way to fix that on my end? My carrier is VLQ-33X, if that helps. There is an apostrophe in my carrier's name, but other player-generated carrier names with apostrophes (and other non-letter/number characters) show. All other characters in my carrier's name are alphabetical standard letters on a keyboard (no diacritical markings). Thanks in advance.
