Does anyone around here have any pictures of a pair of scales? Photos are
better than rendered ones since I want to model it myself. Also, I'd be very
thankful if someone can give me a map of the Libra constellation as well as
any other info that might help me do a realistic image. I am after doing a
scene for my girlfriend's b-day (the 25th), so the matter is kinda urgent.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Peter

Use the power of the world wide web. I did a yahoo search with
the keyword "libra" use the quotes to filter and the same with the
keywork "astrology". The returned results are too numerous to
list here.
Live long and prosper Peter Popov.

Been there, done that. www.polaris.net/services/starchart is a fast and
useful on-line tool that makes star charts for most of the constellations.
Thanks for the advice.

Couldn't _that_ be added to the too-much-raytracing tests list? ;-)

I've got a set of scales I rendered in MAX, I'll send you a wireframe top
and front view. Hope it helps.

Thanks to Ken Tyler and Lance Birch I already have a great start. I only
need a little more help: does anybody know of a good (on-line ?) resource /
utility where I can learn the exact position of the Libra constellation on
the 25th of September, 10 p.m. observed from Bulgaria? (I know this is a
hard one).
TIA.

I don't know of any online resources but you might check out
http://www.filepile.com and see if they have a good
astronomy / planetarium program. This place has they claim over
a million programs online for download so it's worth a shot.

Hi Peter, thanks for the nice comments! You might want to check Home Planet
( http://www.fourmilab.ch/homeplanet/hp3beta.html ) instead. It should
allow you to just enter a Long/Lat description of Bulgaria if it isn't
already there.
If you want, download it from the following locations (it's not online):
North America:
ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/ke/kelvint/homeplanet/hp3lite.zip
Switzerland:
ftp://ftp.fourmilab.ch/pub/kelvin/homeplanet/hp3lite.zip
It's about 1Mb. Or, you can download the massive version (7 Mb) by going to
the site. The only difference is it contains images of the planets and
sounds files (I think).
Unfortuneately I don't kow of any online resources. :-(
Oh well, hope this helps anyway!!!

OK, I've found an online viewing program that's worth a try! I'm not sure
how it's meant to work and I haven't tried it but if you don't want to
download Home Planet give it a go...
It's at:
http://skyview.gsfc.nasa.gov/skyview.html
Goto the Java version. Hope it works!!! Otherwise, you can always revert
to Home Planet.

Hey, this program's great! It can even give me a clue to how the horizon
will look somewhere sometime looking in some direction. I only need to pay a
visit to my astronomy teacher from high school to get all numbers and codes
into useful pov coordinates and voila!
Thanks to all who helped me, especially to Ken and Lance!
Trace a ray.
