Looks interesting. I am interested in star charts.
I've been looking at those circular celestial planesphere thingies (from Phillips) and they seem to need to be set specifically for certain latitudes. From what I can tell the Phillips one allows you to move the window around and get the exact amount of stars in the sky on a specific date of the year.
(But I'm also interested in learning how to make fictional star charts, for a fantasy project, and this download might help me learn how to do that.)Longtime fan of MSE and the good advice given out here. :hello:
