I've done some star maps using the 30,000+ stars at various scales.

You can find them at www.soltakss.com/bigstarmaps.zip and they are more of the same.

Each text file contains multiple planes. I have sorted the stars by name order, if I have the name, or by catalogue, if I have that, otherwise I have named the star according to its Star ID, which is a number in the file I downloaded.

As before, I have divided the distances by a factor of between 1 and 10 to see which looks best as a starmap. The best ones shouldn't be too close together or too far apart.

Let me know what you think of them.
