Darkfile - I really would find it incredibly useful if you could somehow print a scale along two axis. Even just printing a coord value every 50 along two axis would really help in locating a set of stars.

That auto mapper is awesome! ok, so no one knows what constellation to enter or where to find coordinates to try. hmmmm......you don't think they would just leave us like this for a week do you?

okies I hope this help (/works) but according to my calculations (which can be dodgy) if you hover over a star it should give you it's coords. You'll have to refresh before it'll work.

Awesome! That'll be really helpful (as long as your program doesn't randomly disappear). Great work!

yay. now it works.

[benladesh]

its off..by a lot

your thing gives me -63, -177.5 the real one is -126, -355

So times them by 2

Edit: Im guessing your map is 50% and you forgot to take that into concideration.
Also after playing around with the stars you view the coordinates don't show up anymore.

For some reason, the map is giving me coordinates like "-207.5, 54" that don't seem to make sense with the way Neopets' map works... and I have one fairly far outside of my map at "-350, .5". Does this have to do with the fact that the map is at 50% (and, therefore, giving us half of the coordinates that it actually should)?

All I can say is SUH---WEET!! Thanks for all the hard work!! I've been playing just with all these maps for the last hour or so and i don't care if nothing else is going on...yet...I'm having way too much fun!

Hey, I was just thinking. Whenever you submit a constellation, it says it's checking through astronimical data.

Now, we have some people here who are good with Flash. Is there any way that they could search through it and find what it compares our stars to, if anything?

[darkfire]

Oh yeah I noticed about the coord wrongness, fixed it, just refresh again

[WockyChocky]

lol! Wow... my mapper's made it all the way to the neopets boards and back.

Your map program is soo cool! great work! and thank you.

You should put some overpriced omelettes in your shop.

[digitel_anime_fan_20]

The coordinates are working for me, but I STILL don't have a sky to check them with. xD

[frnchfry34]

wow for once my telescope accualy wont load


and the maping has helped, i can now see a red star that i never saw before

though nothing i have is remotly close to any consetlation.

[Tired Feather]

Has anyone else noticed that once you join the astronamy club all the others suddenly start accepting members.

[frnchfry34]

ive noticed that but they dont say you could join if your not in the astronomy club

and my star map shows a few stars that i dont have. well atleast not visable at the moment..
