Dear Apps members,

We have worked the last few days on providing Simbad data in Google Sky. The KML file is available here :
http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/googlesky-pages/simbad.kml

Once loaded in Sky, it will retrieve Simbad objects and display them with various icons according to the object type. The query is actually performed if and only if the span of the current view is smaller than 0.5 deg.
The attached snapshot gives you an overview of what it looks like.

Your comments and feedback are very welcome.

Cheers,

Thomas, for the CDS team
