how do you map it out, were not even positive how big it is..


If you keep clicking to the sides of the scope, your view moves, and soon enough it stops moving. Thats where it ends =) haha, whatever that insane coordinate is...


I'd say something witty if I could. But we can't always be so smooth.

The sky is a 340, 340 x,y axis. I suppose some graph paper would work. Me I'm playing connect the dots at random.

edit- Okay the grid goes beyond that, but 340 +/- is as far as the cross hairs on the telescope go

i ment that mabey the faurther we go we may bet more than the basic telescope, and we will be able to see faurther or more stars up close.

I am... I'm about halfway there. It's taking a while, but it'll be nice to be able to see the whole thing all at once.


Halfway to what?? Can you describe exactly what you're doing?

So have they portrayed the night sky as being a circle or a square?

I've mapped my sky but still can't see anything that really stands out as a constellation. I honestly don't know at what stage we'd get things confirmed either, trying to get every single connector right rather than just the stars could be difficult.

I think.... if you have a TI 80 something calculator, you might be able to do this mapping thing. Buh who know, maybe I'm just crazy and desperate...

I found only 6 purple/violet-ish stars, perhaps now I should figure how to connect them...

edit : apparently after submitting (after connecting 6 stars) you could connect more stars...
edit2 : Nevermind, you only connect those stars you already connected...>_<

I'm not sure, like I said I still can't find anything, I'm experimenting now though.

I've noticed that the giant cursor can be either red or white when it's checking the astronomy data... I'm not sure if it means anything worthwhile, though I thought it was worth a mention, at least...

I'm trying to come up with some kind of pattern as to why it displays the color it does, but so far, I haven't been all too successful. I'd imagine it has something to do with the connections, however- perhaps it has to do with whether there's a circuit in it or not? I can't see how that would be all too helpful to us... (though, I can see how it would be helpful to TNT, so it could just be for their use...)

EDIT: Scratch the circuit theory... I got a red cursor without having a circuit. Maybe it has to do with the number of lines that we draw?

What i do i hit alt+print screen to get a pic of the map in the cross hairs, i paste into paint and then cut out the starscreen and paste it to another paint. I do the same fro the second screen, and I match the white stars together. Easy. Tedious but easy. It seems like if you go to the top 340, 340 and then click at the very bottom, it dgoes down half the screen. ::shrug:: that will make my work easier.

Oh the flashbacks.

Spent a whole summer mosaicing starfields like this into larger images once upon a time...

Anyhow, I've got a large image now that should show my whole field of view with the telescope, but I still can't really see any constellations jumping out at me. The red stars do seem to be the most prominent of any color, though.

Maybe I need to clean it up a bit.

mapping out my sky(with alt-print screen like someone said before)


I think the cursor turns red when its something we can click on(like submit, the different options like delete star and add star, those ones). So I don't think it'll be of any help.

Well, I finished mapping my sky, but I can't seem to find anything that looks promising. Maybe somewhere else we find what constellaion we need to find?(I mean at a different page entirely, like the archives of the HOH maybe) and then have to find it in our sky. Maybe we can't get it right until we've found out what our constellation is.

I'm gonna check some other places to see if I can find anything to support this.
