Excerpt from a "work-in-progress" map of the spaces in and around the Cardassian Union, highlighting the star BC Arietis as a candidate for the Satera system as depicted in the Star Trek: the Next Generation novel "Pliable Truths" by Dayton Ward. That choice depends on Minor Korva being "ten light-years away" (give or take a fraction of a light-year) and also being in the GJ 3150 system.

@daytonward.bsky.social I had a thought about Satera from your novel, Pliable Truths. Subject to debate and discussion, as ever...

Its about time of year for the cooler constellations to start being visible earlier in the night. How many constellations can you find in this star map? #astronomy #starmaps

Work-in-progress star map excerpt based on assorted Star Trek-related works. Highlighted are two stars: TIC 7394090, assigned by designer Dwight Williams as the host of the planet Fenris; and NLTT 17935, assigned as host of the planet Skånevik Prime. Other real stars depicted in the region as shown include 33 Sextantis, Psi Fornacis, UZ Sextantis, and XZ Fornacis.

It's been a while since the #StarTrek novel "Firewall" was released for sale. I decided on a candidate host star for one of the lesser-mentioned world: Skånevik Prime.

It should be relatively close to Fenris...so I went with NLTT 17935.

Three candidates for Vadia's host star get most of my attention right now: 5 Aurigae, HD 28474 and HD 283104. Informed opinions/skuttlebutt welcome. #StarTrek #starmaps #starcharts #stellarcartography #fanmapfiction #astronomy

Considering options for a host star for Skånevik Prime.

Working on multiple maps of the same region of #StarTrek 's version of our galaxy is fun. It's also research-intensive and time-consuming, especially where keeping the various maps consistent with each other is concerned.

Rummaging through HYGMap to find an alternative host star for Sigma Iotia II. I'm looking at SKYM2 442794070 again, and thinking this one's *too* obscure. #StarTrek #TranquilityPress #fanfiction #starmaps #astronomy
