I have thought about this and am sorry I didn't write about it earlier. The words lets not reinvent the whell come to mind. I am all for using a prefabbed stellar system. I would like to see Deneb(roughly 45degrees north 20h 30m Right Declination) be the north pole star, bright easy to ID and cygnus(the swan) makes a great flight over the northern hemispere. I -think- it was the Constellation of Vela I put as the south pole, around the Gum Nebula area(roughly 45 degrees south 3h 30m Right Declination). The constellations would be different for different cultures just as in ancient societies on earth, with some similarities. This is just my opinion though. I think it makes good sense, but others may not.

Sorry, Right Declination should be Right Ascension, I realized after reading it. And Vela is 12H RA away so it is at 8H 30M RA Brian Thompson > >I have thought about this and am sorry I didn't write about it earlier. >The >words lets not reinvent the whell come to mind.
