Hey there; new to the forum, howdy howdy howdy.
I'm wondering if there is an easier way to do this, although it's fun as-is:
In solar system mode I see the stars beyond and would like to go poke around 'out there' but I can only back away from Sol. I found the Lng/Lat coordinates at lower right very useful since I can
(a) line up the solar system on where I'd like to go (say the Pleiades) like a gunsight
(b) calculate the antipodal coordinates, navigate to them
(c) zoom out until what I'm looking for goes whipping past, reverse Star Trek style: There they are!
A couple more checks:
Is Aldeberan really not part of the Hyades? Aw, see now that's sweet! (I thought it was further out but I was wrong.)
What does Praesepe look like? No luck here, too bad, must be too far out to make the db.
Backing out through Orion it also occurs to me that there should be a point where the constellation appears mirror reversed, more or less, from our view albeit with changes in relative brightness in constituent stars. That kinda works but you lose the effect as stuff fades back into the galactic disk.
All in all very nice, even if there's no way of flipping perspective to do it the easy way... reminds me of “I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it'll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think”
