Description
This automatically adds the normal and horizon map surveys for a planet to the corresponding planet object, and these map surveys are passed to the albedo survey.
One limitation that I don't think is worth the trouble lifting is that if a normal or horizon map is present but has
hips_order
smaller than that of the albedo survey, the total order of the HiPS is reduced to the smallest of them. Particularly, with ourdata.stellarium.org/surveys/moon-normal
this yields max order 2 instead of 3.In the future I'm planning to add my versions of the Moon surveys, including all the items: albedo, normals, horizons, which will yield a better version of the current static Moon.
