In which I present the New French Arm, in the next installment of my 2300AD Realistic Near Star Map project!
[2300AD] Realistic Star Map Project: Part II – Overview
In which I present a more detailed overview (and a map!) of the new Arms in my 2300AD Realistic Near Star Map Project!
[2300AD] Realistic Near Star Map Project: Part I – Introduction
In which I introduce my new 2300AD Realistic Star Map, with Arms – I’ll be writing more about this in the coming weeks!
[2300AD] Near Star Map Astrosynthesis DB file
In which I post the 2300AD Astrosynthesis DB file that I used to map out the arms using my realistic stellar databases!
[Stellar Mapping] The 2300AD Near Star Map
In which I compare the Near Star Map from the 2300AD RPG to the actual distribution of stars around Sol and find many interesting differences!
[Stellar Mapping] RECONS list updated!
In which I find a star that was left out of the RECONS dataset – if you’ve already downloaded the RECONS files, download the new version so you can include Gliese 667!
[Stellar Mapping] How to make your own stellar database!
In which I describe how to use the VizieR database to make your own stellar database with Galactic XYZ co-ordinates (and how to import it into Astrosynthesis too)!
Website Update: Stellar Mapping page updated!
In which I update my Stellar Mapping page, which now includes star data out to 300ly from Sol, Equatorial to Galactic co-ordinate converters, and support for Astrosynthesis!
Website update: Further Stars List uploaded!
I’ve finally added the “Further Star List” to my Realistic Near-Sol Astrography webpage – this is an excel file that contains accurate locations of a selection of major stars (including Vega, Deneb, 51 Pegasi, Spica, Bellatrix and Algol) that are more than 10pc from Sol!
