Default Re: Map Designing Thread.

Speaking of creating maps and stuff...

My pet project has been to make a map of the solar system and the surrounding stars. Except I can't find a star chart that shows the surrounding stars, their distance, and their relative orientation.

I know Alpha Centauri is our closest neighbor and I can find the distance to sweat. But where it is in relation to us? Rimward? Coreward?

What about the next star?

Anyone know who has a map like that or where I can find one? I've tried looking through NASA's site but I can't find what I'm looking for.

Of course since there have been a few planets discovered in these other systems I have to include them as well. What else is in the system and the planetary stats are up to me to decide but I still think it is a cool idea.
