Make Horizon File

[cleggers21]

I would like to put my AllSky camera in Cartes Du Ciel as a horizon, either as an Alt Az file or .png. Has anyone got a crafty way of turning an image into a 360 panorama or take the AZ readings or any other method to create a horizon in CDC.
I note there is a ticket to enable panorama images.

I did some testing on this a while ago See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BR5MjwgnKg) The process works but its not available just yet

@Alex-developer thanks. Meanwhile I fudged it by creating a .png with the horizon being midway across a 2024 x 1012 image and pasted in some trees and the compass. Works ok but took a few iterations to get everything in the right place.

@cleggers21, keep in mind that if your allsky camera is on a pole or other high structure, it's horizon will be different than what you would see on the ground.

Thanks @EricClaeys, yes I managed to fudge my horizon by comparing its FOV with CDC at the same time/date.
