John Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I've got a copy of that book that must have been an earlier printing - same authors and title though.It's fascinating to see how stars in a constellation relate to each other (or rather don't) spatially - it makes you realise that the shapes that we have placed on them are entirely arbitary Well worth taking the time to browse the various 3-D charts and to develop your 3-D perception technique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlos Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Seems like a great idea I remember seeing a film from IMAX in one of those dome cinemas and its projected all around you, it reallys makes it seem real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
