Description

HiPS (Hierarchical Progressive Surveys) is a way to store large astronomical survey sky image and catalog datasets on servers (such as HiPS at CDS), that allows clients to efficiently fetch only the image tiles or catalog parts for a given region of the sky they are interested in. Similar to Google maps, but for astronomy (see the HiPS paper).

This is a Python package to fetch and draw HiPS images.
