Guys, I just don't get it. My stars go up to 340. When I did that get_star page, it wouldn't load. When I opened up some other link I saw here that extended the map outwards, they went up to 340.
In the simplest of terms, can someone please explain to me how my stars are supposedly supposed to go up to 500 something?
the coordinates in the box = where the crosshairs are we have covered this look at past splits.
I have the same question. The range only seems to be from -340 to 340 for either direction, so I don't understand where the numebrs above or below that fall into place.
Edit: Nevermind. The stars themselves have coordinations within that range when you hold the cursor over them.
Okay, very simply... when you first load the telescope, the crosshairs are at
0,0 and you are able to see/click a certain radius around that area.
Follow?
At the extremes, the crosshairs are situated at
-340,340 ,
340,340 ,
340,-340 and
-340,-340. However, like at 0,0, you are able to see and click a certain area around those coordinates. Hence the reason that a star can be found at 390, 410 and still be visible and clickable.
Edit:
Written before I noticed Officer1BDI's edit.
But hopefully it will explain the situation nice and simply to anyone else who asks.
