constellation_boundaries - Boolean (0 or 1) indicating whether we draw constellation boundaries.

cardinals - Boolean (0 or 1) indicating whether to write the cardinal points around the edge of alt/az star charts.If 0, these labels will be preceded by alpha= or delta= axis_ticks_value_only - If 1, axis labels will appear as simply "5h" or "30 deg".axis_label - Boolean (0 or 1) indicating whether to write "Right ascension" and "Declination" on the vertical/horizontal axes.aspect - The aspect ratio of the star chart: i.e.angular_width - The angular width of the star chart on the sky degrees.The following settings can be included in a StarCharter configuration file: Note also the setting ephemeris_autoscale, which overrides the specifiedĬelestial coordinates for the centre of the star chart, and the specifiedĪngular width, and scales the star chart to automatically show the requested n is the line number within the file Soft00Cmt.txt, downloaded from the Minor Planet Center. Comets may be referred to by their Minor Planet Center designations Periodic comets may be referred to by their names in the format %4dP Comets may be referred to by their names in this format Recognised object names include any of the following: Jd_end are the Julian day numbers of the beginning and end of the time periodįor which the object's path should be plotted. Where body is the name of the solar system object to plot, and jd_start and The configuration settings which are recognised are listed below under Produces three identical copies of the star chart, in three different graphic Of the constellation Orion, and makes these the default settings. The file above configures a large number of parameters to produce a star chart Not affect any subsequent charts which may be rendered later in the same Settings in a CHART relate to a specific chart that is to be rendered, and do Settings in a DEFAULTS block do not themselves produce a star chart,īut change the default settings which are applied to all subsequent charts. It only represents the approximate distance of other stars from our solar system.Ģ) Gliese 445 is not actually named Voyager’s Star, but I think it should be as it is the star system that Voyager 1 will encounter in about 40000 years.Settings are arranged in blocks which are headed by the words DEFAULTS orĬHART. UPDATE 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: Fixed some more errors, including some stars that really shouldn't have been there based on new data and a flare designation mix-up between Ross 128 and Wolf 424.ġ) This map does NOT accurately represent distances between other stars. UPDATE: Fixed numerous minor errors, including the glaring lack of Luhman 16, the mislabeling of LHS 2090 as LHS 289, and the inclusion of Gliese 424 due to a parallax error in the source data. Feel free to reference or use this in your own projects! This map is, by my say-so, public domain. Star markers are colored according to spectral type (maroon = L or lower red = M orange = K, yellow = G, blue-white = F pale blue = A white = stellar remnant), and the distance rings are measured by lightyears. Some of them are barely existent on the wider 'net, so I simply used the GJ or other designations given.Īnd then stylized it a bit, because I'm not a barbarian. Essentially I used the map in the Nearby Stars Catalog from PHL, which primarily relies on the Gliese-Jahreiß catalog, and labeled each object with their more common or easy-to-read name(s), if they have any. I did this as a sort of relaxation exercise, actually.

The most distant is M-class red dwarf Gliese-Jahrei ß 3976 (32.6 ly). The closest object is, as many of you probably know, the M5.5-class red dwarf Proxima Centauri (4.22 ly). Essentially, this is a 2D chart of all stellar and substellar systems within about 10 parsecs (32.6 lightyears) of our solar system. A stylized and colloquially labelled version of the Planetary Habitability Laboratory's Nearby Stars Catalog.
