My goal is to retrieve from Aladin Lite a sky image given its coordinates, image size and field of view in degrees.
Reading Aladin Lite documentation, it seems to be feasible through the web browser. In fact, if you create a page like this:
<!-- Aladin Lite has a dependency on the jQuery library -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<!-- Aladin Lite container at requested dimensions -->
<div id="aladin-lite-div" style="width:400px;height:400px;"></div>
<!-- Aladin Lite JS code -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://aladin.u-strasbg.fr/AladinLite/api/v2/latest/aladin.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<!-- Creation of Aladin Lite instance with initial parameters -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var aladin = A.aladin('#aladin-lite-div', {showFrame: false, showZoomControl: false, survey: "P/DSS2/color", fov:2.0, target: "M20"});
</script>
