Trying to Find a Font Match
Dec. 23rd, 2024 06:55 pmI'm trying to find a font that's a good match to Breakaway because I'm looking at these Japanese words in kanji and kana...

I finally learned about data accuracy grading in SIMBAD a couple of nights ago. They have a five-level scale currently, going from A (best) to E (worst), and that letter is usually at the back end of the "Spectral type:" line item in any given star's profile data. For example, "F5V C". "F5 E" for another.
Of course, I'm making do with the data I have and the published and aired location data from the episodes and movies of the various branch series of Star Trek here...

So a new offshoot from my Tranquility Press fanfic map projects takes me rimward in the direction of Auriga, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Orion and so forth. The Hyades, Pleiades, the spinward side of Gorn-claimed space, rimward of the Klingons...and the Delta Triangle.
Created for the first animated Trek series episode "The Time Trap", it was a region known for the same kind of mysterious disappearances as Earth's Bermuda Triangle until Jim Kirk and company went digging around in the neighbourhood and found out where some of the vanishing spacecraft of multiple star nations across the centuries had ended up.
Based on material from Star Charts and Stellar Cartography, I picked out candidates for two of the three "anchor" stars of the Triangle, and now I'm working on filling in the surrounding neighbourhood with continued help from HYGMap.space...
Noting that, aside from Bellatrix, the other two stars I chose are not necessarily locked in. I'm open to alternative candidates.

Edge of Midnight: Base Map Progress XVI
Mar. 3rd, 2024 09:38 pmWhat I've got left to nail down in the Triangle:
R'o
Mantiev
Stork's Rest
Actonn
Altharra
Deerlam
Fooled Again
Freeman's Port
Newlin
Overlinn
Passarra's Dream
Fenris
Soroya
The last two have to fit with the maps in Firewall. Not sure whether I should pick stars for Vashti and Qiris as well.

Edge of Midnight: Base Map Progress XIII
Feb. 21st, 2024 10:38 amNailed down four more systems' host stars last night. I'm not entirely happy with the choices, mainly because the catalogue numbers available to use are not short enough and distinct enough. Numbers starting with GAIA DR3, APASS9, SKYM2, 2MASS and so on...and the SIMBAD database is very much a work in progress, perpetually playing catch-up with the new data - or old data finally data-entered after months to years' waiting - as it comes in.
