Steve Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I've begun playing with Astrosynthesis 3.0, and I was wondering if anyone had any databases for the program they would care to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShomshak Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 My thanks as well, Xavier. Years back, I downloaded the Gliese 3 star catalog and a simple program to convert the data to Earth-centered or galactic XYZ, but I don't doubt that more accurate catalogs are now available.

Xavier Onassiss Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 If you find that site useful, be sure to drop a thank you note to Evil Dr. Ganymede. His databases are the most complete I've found for Astrosynthesis 3.0, and he puts them online free of charge, along with a lot of starmapping advice. He also runs the SFRPG forum, which is an excellent resource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShomshak Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I surely will! Incidentally, searching though old files I found a Cartesian coordinate map I made years ago of stars within 25 LY of Sol, from Gliese Nears Star Catalog data. I'll share it if anyone wants it. I also made a set of 8 maps showing 30 LY cubes of space, with Sol at the center of the system, from Gliese data with RECONS additions -- I have the printouts, but can't find the files anymore. Annoying! Dean Shomshak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjalund Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 i think hipparcos data is more recent and more accurate than gleise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 They do have different faint limits, though. Another place to consult about star catalogs is here. Though that dates to 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
