There is an astrolabe that's been sitting there since the beginning.


Here's a wild and wacky guess - stop me if you've heard this already.

An astrolabe is used to tell where you are when you know the location of stars. You point it at certain stars, like the sun, and figure out where they are in relation to you. It was later replaced by the far more useful sextant.

So, stars on ceiling? But this is supposed to be a small plot, so I'm not expecting TNT has worked out something for us to find in Altador based on the positions of the constellations or the gems on the ceiling...right?

*shudders again at memories of the repository*

Have they completely given up on the other-side-of-neopia idea? Or do we find that out later? And how come none of the Altadorians (or whatever) know about this portal?

As of now, the popular idea is that the astrolabe is just there for your fun. A way ta show that "Yes. I did the plot this far!"

And in any case, its better to have a nice shiny astrolabe isn't it? A few hundred NPs can't hurt that much.

I finally managed to get a complete map from the StarMapper (the map's now too big for my screen :P)

Anyway, could anyone help me find my Wave? I've been trying for ages, but I just can't find it.

I have a server which I never use with 1tb bandwidth a month going to waste. If someone could kindly pm me the .cgi script for the constellation finder, I'll gladly host it and link to it here.

Hands up those who have a great desire to throw their astrolabe at the chairman of the Astronomy club!

I wouldn't throw it at him. I'd push it through his stomach.

What's curious to me is why people use server-side scripts for those constellation finders. I could make a client-side Javascript one (and I'm sure many other people can as well) in half an hour, perhaps. The only reason I haven't (or at least posted one ;)) is because I thought it was unethical to have something like that floating around...

The finder is down? Darn :(
Can anyone help me find the wave? I've gone over it with a template in paint and with a guide thing on the mapper.
