Reading Astronomical Society: Sort code: 60-17-21: Account No: 54137268Guest Speaker : Danny Thomas (Farnham AS and SAGAS Secretary) – 3D Constellations
Danny wrote his own software to take the stellar coordinates of stars from surveys of our galaxy and model the constellations. Using this, he can spin the constellations around and see how they look from a sideways viewpoint and animate how they change over time. He uses the software to tell a story of the well known Northern and Southern hemisphere constellations including names of stars, mythology and moving groups.
