Aaah! Very to the point at the moment indeed. Good start!

Nice Northern lights.

Many Thanks to you and Thomas!
As ever, there is still room for improvement, but for the moment I'm
content with my efforts to model an aurora borealis. The image was some
kind of a study of concept. Now I try to improve the sky. At the moment
I use a catalog of the 1628 brightest stars from a VizieR database. I
project the entries to my sky-sphere. This sample represents the stars
visible in a severly light polluted city like my living place Darmstadt,
Germany, very well. The Milky Way is invisible here completely. Now I
found a database of 120.00 stars published by the European Space Agency
(Hipparcos-Catalogue). So the next experiment is to try to understand
this data and to project them at my sky-sphere.
Best regards
Michael

Although I'm rather leary of the stellar distances in that catalog, that
shouldn't make any difference for your present purpose.

The URL in that thread is still down. In the meantime, the module is
available at:
https://github.com/CousinRicky/POV-BrightStar5
There is some discussion of projection in that thread.

Many thanks to you and Bald Eagle, I was not aware of it because I
didn't look into all POV newsgroups regularly. I just downloaded the
files from github and will take a close look within the next days.
If someone is interested: The hipparcos data can be found at
https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/I/311#/browse
FTP-Tab, hip2.dat.gz
For my image I need declination, right ascension and magnitude. But I
wonder about the colour index and if this can be of use.
Best regards
Michael
