Hello sophonts:
I have been putting together my own little game background (because I can't
get enough information about the Official game universe to like it...) and have
begun plotting positions from an astrophysics text using Right Ascension
coordinates and either Ly or pc distances. Having exhausted the chartings of
star systems that actually existed in the old Solomani Rim data and the
information in my text, I went to the local University Library. Lot of texts,
but only one Brightest Star Catalogue - with no distances. Now, I am no
astrophysicist, and I shudder at the idea of having to actually interpret
the Hertzprung-Russell Diagram and use the Visual Magnitudes listed, which are
in several different systems.
So, does anyone out there have a listing of stars in the Terra Locale with
some form of direction and distance information? In electronic Format? If so,
could you mail it to me? Thanks all.
Anthony
