A watchface that displays the local time (upper left), date (upper right), and apparent local sidereal time (bottom left), with a starfield calculated from the phone and sent to the watch. Stars are colored according to their B-V index, and sizes are partitioned into three buckets with the brightest stars appearing as a +. Updates to the star field occur every 5 minutes, while longitude updates occur every hour. Stars brighter than magnitude 4 are displayed.

Columns are:

Name, RA Hours, RA Minutes, RA Seconds, Dec Sign, Dec Degrees, Dec Minutes, Dec Seconds, Magnitude, B-V index

Hand-picked star names: Polaris, Rigel, Betelgeuse, Vega, Antares, Sirius, Capella, Fomalhaut, Spica

1. npm run clean
2. npm run build
3. npm run install:emery

With npm run install:emery running in one terminal, open a second terminal and run:

• pebble screenshot --emulator emery shot.png — single PNG at native dimensions (200×228).
• pebble screenshot --all-platforms — captures both emery and gabbro in one go (useful for appstore listings).
• pebble screenshot --gif-all-platforms — rollover GIFs per platform.

If you get Connection refused, the emulator isn't actually running — /tmp/pb-emulator.json is stale from a prior session. Run npm run clean:emu and boot fresh with npm run install:emery.

The installed pebble-tool's libpebble2/communication/transports/qemu/__init__.py has been hand-patched so QemuTransport.connect() retries [Errno 111] Connection refused for up to 5 seconds (20 × 0.25s) instead of failing on the first try. Without this, pypkjs races QEMU's bind of its first -serial tcp::PORT,server,nowait and dies before the install reaches the watch — pebble-tool's _wait_for_qemu only watches the second serial for the firmware boot banner, so by the time it spawns pypkjs the first port may not yet be accepting connections.

Find the patched method by grepping for # Patched by astroface:. Any reinstall of pebble-tool (e.g., uv tool upgrade pebble-tool) wipes this patch — re-apply after upgrades. The retry-loop in npm run install:emery is the belt to this patch's suspenders.
