Visualize stellar spectra directly on finder charts. #9

Once we're able to download prism spectra for lots of stars (#4 ), let's please see if we can visualize those spectra by plotting them directly on the finder chart, kind of like this:

And/or, we might plot them as actual little bands of rainbow colors, like for example with something like plot_as_slit_rainbow over at (rainbow-connection](https://zkbt.github.io/rainbow-connection/stars/).

This would have the effect of making the field look something like the objective prism spectra that Annie Jump Cannon used ;-)
