Mark- can you get the program to show only stars in particular distance 'cuts' oriented in different lines of sight (kinda like what they can do with CT or MRI scans)?
No, but what's the point? You're just creating another type of random distribution of stars in which our brains will find equal pleasure in detecting patterns.
Quote:
Or do we know the distances to enough nearer stars?
Yes we do.

I would imagine that shared motion would also be a good info source here.
Indeed, both distance and proper motion need to match for any two stars to be possibly physically linked.
