Abstract: A new architecture for all-sky browsing of astronomical datasets has been designed and implemented in the form of a graphical front-end to the yourSky custom mosaicking engine. With yourSky, any part of the sky can be retrieved as a single FITS image with user-specified parameters such as coordinate system, projection, resolution and data type. The simple HTML form interface to yourSky has been supplemented with a graphical interface that allows: (i) All-sky, web-based pan and zoom; (ii) Interactive, multi-spectral viewing; (iii) Vector graphic overlays from object catalogs; and (iv) Invocation of the yourSky mosaicking engine once a desired view has been selected in the browser.
