How to draw sky chart? [closed]
How do I draw a star chart like this ? I have: A star database with coordinates (right ascension and declination) Observer coordinates (latitude, longitude) Time of observation I need a formula which considered these parameters. stellar database google for: BSC (Bright star catalog) ~10K stars up to +6.5 mag (naked eye) Hipparcos ~118K stars up to +12 mag (telescopes) and also has parallax (3D coordinates) and many more Hipparcos is mine favorite. both can be downloaded freely in ASCII format from many Astornomy server just google ... planets (bodies) You can compile the orbital parameters
