Constellations

Post #1by Avetikus » 12.04.2002, 18:12

If you get the time or the inclination, could you add line drawings of the constellations? It would be very nice to toggle (off/simple/elegant) line drawings of the Crab, the Archer, the Scales, etc. laid over the constellations as viewed from the solar system/earth. It would also help my girls to visualize the shapes that lead to the choosing of the constellations. Okay okay.. I'd like to see that, too. But it's for them.. really. :)

Thanks in advance for looking at this, and Kudos on an incredible program.

No interest in this?

That's the connect-the-dots with stars. I am interested in visual representations that those connect-the-dots resemble. e.g. a crab shape instead of a square with 4 lines radiating out, a bear instead of a long squiggle with a loop, a girl instead of a 'W'. That sort of thing.

Thanks for trying to point me in the right direction, though.

Um... I think I know what you mean. Starry Night, if I may recommend a rival, has overlaid drawings.
