Carina Nebula has been cited once or twice in #StarTrekProdigy, if memory serves?

Also, noting that for the closer ones, they're sticking with published material in #StarCharts / #StellarCartography despite those using #Hipparcos data, rather than more recent #GaiaMission.

Making a #StarChart myself using the #hipparcos catalogue. I converted all data like RA, DEC, PLX und Vmag into x, y, z and Vmag_absolut. With that I can reconstruct the RA, DEC and Vmag. It is intended to show changes to #constellation (missing) while observing from other systems.

#StarTrek #StellarCartography question: when #StarCharts was first designed, was #Sheratan chosen as the host star of #Hanolan?
They seem close on the X-Y plane, and yet I suspect that I'm seeing another artifact of the designers working with #Hipparcos data...?
