Any help will be appreciated. try this link: http://www.nasa.jpl.gov it's nasa's site, and is just flat chocked full of basically anything astronomy. pics from hubble (huge buggers), pics from big telescopes...etc... the caveat is that some of the images are like 3000x3000 or some such cockamamie sizing... it don't fit on yer monitor... so perhaps in your program you could do something with and about that... perhaps... what about making a seamless 'globe' of the nightsky based upon all of the images of constellations that are seen from each point from earth? you could then walk the earth, seeing what you would see if you were at that point on the earth on your monitor... dotted lines perhaps 'joining' the major constellations... --Hawke'
