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.
