I'm running a small server cluster that's crunching away at SETI@Home data. The other day when I was looking through the BOINC Add-Ons, and I found the software SetiSpirit. The description for it is as follows:

"SETIspirit is free add-on tool for SETI@home users which provides information about the tasks, the SETI@home project status, workunits and credits, statistic charts and a detailed sky map."

I'm interested in the sky map portion of that. I know the default SETI@Home screen saver shows the numerical longitude and latitude of where the data that my computer is processing is from in the sky. This software takes it one step further and actually shows where the data came from specifically.

Is there an API or an XML file or any way that I can grab the longitude and latitude for myself and create my own sky map out of it?
