\noindent Stellarium comes with a nice set of skycultures from all
over the world (Fig.~\ref{fig:skycultures}). For ethnographers or
historians of science it may be a worthwhile consideration to
illustrate the sky culture of the people they are studying. It is not
very hard to do so, but depending on your data, may require some
skills in image processing.
