Viewport in "Share this View" #300

https://www.thinglink.com/card/1295138622952964097 Try any HST link there, and it works to the right framing, but try searching the same object & sharing the view & framing is not right.

Also would be nice to save layers shown--I don't think that works.

OK, I see what's going on here. Take this share URL for example:

http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/webclient/#/place=45.0&ra=11.33750&dec=12.98810&fov=0.15832

The issue is that when a place= query parameter is present, the client zooms to the view specified by the Place in preference of the ra etc. parameters.

Yes. the Imageset is the "set" and the place is the "actor" where the camera points at. The imageset may be a large survey that covers half the sky or more, the place might be M51.

Pull request #301 takes a stab at this. It's merged to master so it's available in the testing prefix, e.g.:

http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/testing_webclient/#/place=45.0&ra=11.33750&dec=12.98810&fov=0.15832
