Pages: 1 timwetherell sage Reged: 09/03/10 Loc: A Land Down Under vector star map       #4731024 - 08/05/11 02:02 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Hi Everyone. I'm trying to lay my hands on a digital image of the entire night sky (star atlas style not a photo. I could scan or photograph a large chart but that would be a huge pain! and I'd also like a vector version (eps illustrator). Any ideas on where one might get such a thing? I need it for an art installation Post Extras:       Matthew Ota Hmmm Reged: 04/30/05 Loc: Long Beach, California Re: vector star map [Re: timwetherell]       #5048318 - 01/31/12 04:26 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I don't think anybody has ever done that. I do vector and bitmap work, and I think a tracing algorithm would just choke under the scope of the thing.

He uses Adobe Illustrator. The stars are plotted first by Roger Sinnott using a custom program he wrote.
