 Introduction
The 3-D Atlas of the Stars and Galaxies shows the stars and
galaxies in th ree -dimens ional spa ce, with the th ird
dimens ion - dista nce- di re.c tl y ap parent to ste reosco pi c
VISion. The 3-D maps- stereographs- are accu rate
representations constructed from the most recent data available.
Because our eyes are set between two and three inches (50 to 80
mm) apart our stereoscopic vision extends to only a few hundred
yards (metres) at most. We use other visual clues, including our
experience of how large a particular object ought to appear when
observed over a particular range, in order to estimate the distance
of things that are fu rther away. We have no direct experience of the
size and the distance of stars, and this is why, looking up into the
night sky, all the stars appear equally near.
The 3-D maps in the Atlas are unreal to the extent that our
eyes are too close together to see parallax over long distances,
and the distances involved are, by definition, astro nomica l.
However, they accurately reflect the best measurements and
latest estimates of the true distances involved; they show
space as it might appear to us if our eyes were very much
farther apart than they are.
Distances in Space
Th ree ways of worki ng out the distance to sta rs and to galaxies
are used in th is At las. They are trigonometric parallax,
spectroscopic pa rallax, and redshift.
Trigonometric parallax uses the orbit of the Earth rou nd the
Sun to give widely separated points of view from which the
positions of nearby sta rs can be measured and co mpa red.
When measurements are taken a few months apart, the nearer
stars show small changes in appa rent position. These cha nges,
called 'parallax; are produced by the change in the observer's
position as the Earth moves round the Sun. To standardize
these measures of para llax, they are adjusted to what they
would be if they had been made squa re-on to the star from
either end of a standard baseline of one astronomical unit,
rough ly equivalent to the mean average distance of the Earth
from the Sun, 149,600,000 km.
A star about thirty mi ll ion million kilometres distant (actually
30,857,000,000,000 km; )'26' 6 light-years) would show a parallax
of one second of arc when observed in this way. One second of arc
is 113,600 of a degree. Astronomers find it convenient to use a
parallax of one second of arc as an expression of dista nce; this
unit is called a parsec, abbreviated 'pc'.
6
Astar at twice that distance (and showing a parallax of one-half
of a second of arc) is said to be at a distance of'two parsecs'; one
showing a parallax of one-tenth of a second of arc is said to be
at a distance of ten parsecs, and so on (1 pc "",3·26 Iy; 10 pc
~ 32·6Iy).
The accuracy of measurements of parallax depend s in part on
the apparent brightness of the star to be measured, bu t
grou nd-based photographic detection is routinely capable of
reso lutions to plus or minus eight milliarcseconds
(8/3,600,000 of a degree). The satellite observatory Hipparcos
made measurements to a precision of plu s or minus 0·97
milliarcseconds. A star that showed one mill iarcsecond of
parallax wou ld lie at a distance of 1 kpc (1,000 parsecs, about
3,262 light-years), and this sets a notional lim it for distance
measureme nts by tri gonometric parallax. The estimated
diameter of the Mi lky Way Ga laxy is about 40 kpc, and other
methods of determining dista nce have to be used on ga lactic
and intergalactic sca les.
Spectroscopic parallax rel ies on the way that the details of the
colour spectrum cast by a star- its 'spectral type' -is a guide
to the intrinsic brigh tness of the star. The dista nce can be
wo rked out by com paring how bright the star seems to be,
with how bright it rea lly is (or is believed to be).
Interpretation of Redshift is a third method of estimating distance.
The 'redshift of a galaxy' refers to the displacement of absorption
lines into the longer wavelengths at the red end of its overall light
spectrum. Galaxy redshifts are assumed to be a Doppler effect
produced by the speed at which distant galaxies are moving away
from the observer, thei r 'recession velocity'. If the universe is
expanding uniformly, the greater the recession velocity, the more
distant a galaxy will be. The most redshifted objects shown on the
Galaxy Ma ps are recedi ng at one-tenth of the speed of light,
suggesting a distance in the range 500 Mpc.
The Maps
There are three map series in this book, showing space in three
ranges: loca l space, regional space, and distant space.
Coord inates are shown for epoch 2000. The Near Star Maps
concentrate on stars in the sola r neighbourhood, and include
a large number of active red dwarfs and inactive wh ite dwarfs,
objects too fa int to be seen by the naked eye. Most of the
objects shown in this map series are nea rer than 25 parsecs,
eig hty lig ht-yea rs.
The Bright Star Maps concentrate on the naked-eye stars,
often called 'bright stars: that are seen in our region of the
Milky Way Galaxy. The Sun is located about 10 kpc (about half-
way) out from the centre of the Milky Way system. An extreme
supergiant star of an intrinsic luminosity one million times
that of the Sun might be just visible to the naked eye over the
same distance (10 kpc), and this sets the outside limits of the
Bright Star Maps as a 20 kpc circle half the Milky Way in
diameter. Most of the objects that are shown on the Bright
Star Maps are very much nearer.
The Milky Way Galaxy contains in the region of one hundred
thousand million stars, and is one of a similar number of
galaxies that make up the visible universe. The Galaxy Maps
show the galaxies in our region of that universe out to a
notional radius of one-tenth of a closed universe model, and
concentrate on the structural groupings and strings of galaxies
seen in this region.
The Stereographs
The stereographs of the Near Star Maps show stars as they
would appear to someone with eyes about one light-year
apart (5,879,000,000,000 miles; 9,460,700,000,000 km). The
Bright Star Maps show stars as they might appear to someone
with eyes two-and-a-half light-years apart. The Galaxy Maps
show the view for someone with eyes five million light-years
apart! These figures are based on the notional distance to
objects shown at the plane of the page. However, the
representation of distances beyond the plane of the page is
progressively squeezed up. For example, objects shown on the
Galaxy Maps with an assumed distance of 500 Mpc are shown
a few inches beyond the plane of the stereograph page. At this
range, and at the same but linear scale, a closed universe in
proportion to the reader would be reduced to the size of a
four-bedroom house.
If you position yourself sixteen inches (400 mm) away from the
page, the effective 'depth' that you can see in a comfortable
way starts at the plane of the page and extends for six to eight
inches 'below' it, producing a little theatre or pocket of virtual
space. To accommodate the images into that virtual space, and
to get them evenly spaced out, the stereographs use a form of
compression similar to a logarithmic scale. To see why this is
necessary, consider the case of bright stars.
Bright stars are those visible to the naked eye. They are observed
over four magnitudes of distance (distance decades): 1 to 10, 10
to 100, 100 to 1,000,1,000 to 10,000 parsecs. There are a few stars
in the first decades and a few stars in the fourth decade, but most
bright stars are seen in the second decade and the near end of the
third, in the range ten parsecs out to two hundred. If the
distribution were shown in a linear way, most of the stars would
be jammed into the first fraction of distance, bunched up into a
wall of images a quarter-inch thick. To maximize the differences
of distance across the maximum number of objects, the overall
distribution has been smoothed out through the available space.
The near end of the scale is enlarged, the effective page distance
is set a little way into the range, and the distances towards the far
end of the scale are progressively compressed.
A different distance and compression scale is used in each
map series. The distance of any object can be found by
measuring the separation between the red and green images
and comparing it to the separations shown on the main key at
the beginning of each map series.
Viewing the 3-D Images
The stereographs should be viewed through red (left eye) and
green (right eye) filters, and should be viewed square-on: an
imaginary line drawn horizontally across your eyes should be
parallel with the width of the page. The best lighting is bright
diffuse daylight, so that the page is evenly illuminated and
without areas of bright reflection. The comfortable distance for
viewing red-green stereographs differs quite a lot from one
person to the next. Long-sighted readers may prefer greater
viewing distances to those who are short-sighted.
Viewing stereographic images is something that the eyes learn
how to do, and the best way is to relax the vision and let the
eyes sort it out for themselves. If you have not done it before
it might take two or three minutes for the first stereograph to
resolve itself. It can help to view the image from a long way
away, for example, six feet (2 m). The Near Star Maps are the
easiest to resolve because the nearer stars are shown larger.
The overall range of depth that is used in the stereographs is
set towards the maximum that an experienced viewer will find
comfortable, and it is not intended (nor is it possible) that the
whole field should be brought into convergence at the same
time. This is no different from our ordinary way of seeing
things. In ordinary perception we focus our attention on
nearby objects or on far-away objects, and the objects we are
not concentrating on remain unconverged. The effect is not
usually noticed because we are used to it.
It is possible to move down through the depth range by
focusing on one object and then on another and nearby object
at a slightly greater distance, a sort of 'star-hopping'. The same
method can be used to move back up through the field, and
this way of viewing has the effect of relaxing the vision and
deepening the subjective experience of depth. Once you have
seen some part of a first image, the ability to view
stereographs improves quickly, and the experience of depth
becomes deeper.

 Introduction
The
Near Star Maps
The Near Star Maps concentrate on stars within 25 parsecs of
the Sun. In interstellar terms, this is our immediate
neighbourhood.
A star lying at a distance of 25 parsecs would show 40
milliarcseconds of parallax, easily measured by modern
techniques, but even within that 'nearby' range the population
of stars remains largely unc3talogued. The difficulty of
preparing a catalogue of the nearest stars (and from that
catalogue a map) is a matter of faintness and number.
Of 25 stars identified close to the Sun, half are dwarf stars and
subdwarf stars of spectral type M: we can suppose that M-type
dwarf stars are the most common type of'nearby' star. Adwarf
star of spectra l type MS has an absolute magnitude of 12,
which means that it would have an apparent visual magnitude
of 12 when observed from 10 parsecs away. There are a million
stars in the range of apparent magnitude twelve or brighter:
to discover all main·sequence stars down to spectral type M5
within 10 parsecs of the Sun wo uld involve examining the
parallax of a million candidate stars.
The near star plots have been made from two catalogues, the
Preliminary Version of the Third Catalogue of Nearby Stars
edited by W. Gliese and H. Jahreiss (1991), and the Hipparcos
[atalogue (1997).
The Catalogue of Nearby Stars is a compilation of ground·based
observations intended to list objects within 25 pc of the Sun. The
distance information is derived from trigonometric parallax in the
case of some stars and from spectroscopic parallax in the case of
other stars. It lists 3,000 objects of which the dimmest are main·
sequence M8 types and 'degenerate' white dwarfs. To reach
completeness the catalogue might need to list more than 8,000
objects, and it would be necessary to examine the parallax of
more than a hundred million candidate stars. Some objects are
listed on the basis of an incomplete spectral analysis, and the
catalogue is likely to include a number of distant giant stars of late
spectral types mistaken for nearby dwarf stars. All objects from
the catalogue are plotted, but on the annotated maps they are
represented by open circles.
The completeness of Hipparcos (1997) is defined as (apparent
visual magnitude) V= 7·0 - 9·0, with a limiting magnitude of
8
12A. Two plots have been taken, and on the annotated maps
these plots are distinguished by solid circles. All objects
brighter than apparent magnitude 5·25 have been plotted;
many are much farther away than 25 pc, but they serve to give
a useful 'background' of familiar bright stars. They have been
drawn together into constellation figures on the annotated
maps. A second plot from Hipparcos shows all objects with a
parallax greater than 0'04, that is, all Hipparcos objects out to
25 pc. The second plot provides a number of objects not listed
in Gliese and Jahreiss, and is a confirmation of a number of
objects that are listed.
The diameter of the symbol size seen in the plots is inversely
proportional to the distance of the object. There are no set
conventions for mapping nearby stars and this way of
represe nting dista nce is, figuratively speaking, direct. It
produces an immediate picture of the location of the nearest
stars, at the cost of having the plots of a few more distant
objects hidden by the plots of nearer objects.
The annotation of the maps concentrates on nearby objects.
Bayer designations are used where possible. Flamsteed
numbers (fo r example, 61 Cygml are preferred to other
catalogue numberings. The prefixes of catalogue numbers
drawn from Gliese and Jahreiss (1991) and shown on the maps
have been truncated: prefix 'GI' (standing for 'Gliese') has been
shortened to prefix G; prefix 'GJ' shortened to J; prefix 'NN'
shortened to N; and prefix 'Wo' shortened to W. Prefix Hshown
on map numberings denotes the Hipparcos Catalogue number.
Spectral types are taken from Gliese and Jahreiss, and in
multiple sta rs follow the order: A, B, C. An asterisk (. ) indicates
that no typing is found for a particular component. Among
heterogeneous typings, prefix 'sd' stands for 'subdwarf' (meta l·
deficient and in theory very old stars), and prefix '0' stands for
'degene rate' (stars in which nuclear fusion reaction s are
believed to have ceased).
Some Interesting Stars
The nearest star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri (Near Star
Map 6). in many ways a typical nearby staLin Gliese and
Jahreiss it is listed as a red dwarf of spectral type M5·5Ve
(which means: subtype half-way between M5 and M6,
luminosity class V-a main-sequence dwarf star-with
peculiarity 'e', emission lines in the spectrum). It is also a
member of a multiple-star system. The primary star of that
system is Alpha Centauri, 'Rigil Kent', itself a double star of
which the 'A' component is of the same spectral class as the
Sun, G2V. The less massive 'B' companion is a KOV star that
reaches an elongation of 17 arcseconds. Observed over a
distance of '·35 pc this separation implies that the A and B
components are 23 AU (about 3·4 thousand million km)
apart, a similar distance to that of the Sun from planet
Uranus. Proxima Centauri is separated from Alpha Centauri by
more than 2° of arc, corresponding to a distance of more
than'O,OOO AU. If Proxima Centauri marks the edge of the
system, then the edge extends about 5% of the total
distance from Alpha Centauri back to the Sun.
In orbital models of multiple-star systems the strong gravity
fields throw out low-mass components. It seems that planets
are unlikely to be found within multiple-star systems. They are
more likely to be found orbiting single stars.
Trying to observe a planet close to another star is like trying
to see a pea suspended in front of an arc light, so the usual
method of planet searching is to look for small and regular
changes in a star's position, indicating unseen companions. A
recent such candidate is Upsilon Andromeda (map 2), distance
13·5 pc, spectral type F8V, a star not unlike the Sun. However,
unseen companions inferred on the basis of a regular wobble
in star positions are necessarily more massive than Earth,
ranging from about the mass of Jupiter up to so-called 'brown
stars' bordering on the 0·08 solar masses needed to start the
fusion reactions that power a true star.
Barnard's Star (map 5), a red dwarf type M5, distance 1·8 pc,
visual magnitude 9·5, holds the 'angular speed record' of more
than ten arcseconds a year (just passing through!). At present
it is the fourth closest star to the Sun, and perturbations in its
track suggest an unseen companion or companions of two to
three Jupiter masses.
61 Cygni, a naked-eye object of combined magnitude 4·6, is
the twelfth closest system, distance 3-5 pc. The major elements
are listed in Gliese and Jahreiss as K5Ve and K7Ve, but there is
at least one invisible companion at about ten Jupiter masses,
perhaps a brown star.
The fifth closest system is Sirius, distance 2·6 pc. Sirius A,
spectral type AlV, is a 'dwarf' star, meaning that the star is
seen in an early and compact condition (in some remote
future Sirius A will expand to become a diffuse 'giant'). Sirius
A is the brightest star in the night sky, but this is because it is
observed at a close distance: in other respects it is a typical
bright star. Its companion is the famous Sirius B, the first
white-dwarf star to be seen (proposed by Bessel in 1844,
observed by Clark in 1862), spectral type DA2. White dwarfs
are 'degenerate' stars that have ceased nuclear fusion, but
continue to radiate light from their reserves of conserved heat.
White dwarfs have an absolute magnitude in the range 10 to
15, making them difficult objects to observe. The nearby star
Procyon (map 3) is another system with a white-dwarf
component, Procyon B.

 Introduction
The
Bright Star Maps
The Bright Star Maps are plotted from the Hipparcos Catalogue
(1998) to a limit at visual magnitude 6-49. Non-stellar objects
to a limit at magnitude 6·49 have been show n on the
annotated maps and are plotted from the catalogue NGC
2000.0 (1989). Non-stellar objects are not shown on the
stereographs.
The European Space Agency satellite Hipparcos was launched
by Ariane 4 on August 8th 1989 and made between 100 and
150 separate observations of the positions of more than
100,000 stars in the period November 1989 to March 1993. The
satellite made observations free of the distorting effects of the
Earth's atmosphere, and made them in two directions at the
same time to give an independent frame of reference for the
measurements. The reported median precision was plus or
minus 0·97 milliarcseconds.
Hipparcos measurements are taken into the stereographs
without interven tion. There is a distance scale next to the
'North' and 'South' circles at the beginning of the map series
(a colour photocopy of this key would make a useful
bookmark). Sample distances given on the annotated maps
are rounded out to two figures. They allow another way of
readi ng off the distance shown in the ste reograph s. The
milliarcsecond error that remains in the Hipparcos
measurements means that the distances shown or quoted to
remote stars shou ld be regarded with caution.
The page distance of the stereog raphs is set at 5 pc. You may
notice that there is considerable compression of depth for
objects represented at distances greater than 100 pc. In the
annotated maps, Bayer designations are preferred where
possible, and Flamsteed numbers are preferred to Argelander
alphanumerics.
Some Interesting Objects
A point often made about the depth distribution of stars is
that constellation groupings are for the most part imaginary,
that the stars of a seeming group like the Big Dipper are at
different distances and hav e no association in three-
dimensional space. As it happens, the stars of the Big Dipper
26
do not illustrate this effect (Bright Star Map 1). The five central
stars, Zeta, EpSilon, Delta, Gamma, Beta, are all A-type main-
sequence stars at distances close to 2S pc, a remarkable
coincidence of sta r type and distance.
Undisputed associations in three-dimensional space are
observed in open clusters such as the Hyades and the Pleiades
(map 4). The Hyades themselves are a lovely examp le of a
moving cluster (see special view on p. 91), with Aldebaran a
false member, moving across the field half-way between the
Sun and the true grouping.
A looser kind of grouping is seen in the depiction of stars in
the Milky Way. The plane of the Milky Way galaxy is
represented by the Galactic Equator, with the centre of the
galaxy in direction 0° of the galactic equator beyond the sta rs
of Sagittarius (maps 13 and14), and with the edge of the
galaxy lyi ng in direction 180° beyond the stars of Auriga (maps
4 and 5).lt is established that the galaxy has the shape of a
flattened spiral with a number of curving arms defined by dust
clouds, star-formatio n, and dense populations of highly
luminous young stars. Star clouds produce a noticeable
thickening along the line of the galactic plane that can be
seen crossing some part of most of the maps. They represent
the near part of the major arms of the galaxy region, with the
'Sag ittarius Arm' lying about 2 kpc towards the centre of the
galaxy, and the 'Perseus Arm' lying about 2 kpc towards the
edge.
The Sun is located south of the galactic plane, and a trailing
arm-like element, the 'Orion Arm: is seen separated from the
galactic plane in the region of Perseus and along a line
through the Pleiades, the Hyades, and Orion (map 4).
Particularly clear areas of galactic structure are seen in the
galactic plane through Centaurus and Vela (maps 11, 12, 13
and 16) with the suggestion of a spur-like grouping in Lupus
(maps 13 and 16). A clear break in the line of the Milky Way
caused by a dust cloud is seen half-way through Vela (map 16).
Other seeming voids in th e Milky Way produced by dust clouds
are seen close to Acrux (map 16) and close to Deneb (map 8).
with the southern end of the 'Cygnus Rift' well defined in the
region west of Altair (also map 8).
The same Cygnus region provides one of the best examples of
an identification group of stars that are entirely disassociated
in three-dimensional space, the delta wing grouping in
Cygnus. The distance given by trigonometric parallax (tr) from
Hipparcos makes a most interesting comparison with an
estimate by spectroscopic parallax (sp): Alpha, tr 990 pc (V
1.25, A2Ia) sp 520 pc; Gamma, tr 470 pc (V 2.20, F8Ib) sp 240
pc; Delta, tr 52 pc (V 2.86, B9.5111) sp 50 pc; Epsilon, tr 22 pc
(V 2.46, KOIII) sp 22 pc. The convergence at the near end of
the range is striking, and both methods produce the same ranking
nearest to farthest, but the different measures to the remote and
rare supergiants Alpha and Gamma are the point of most interest.
No weight can be placed on such a small sample, but it may be
remarked that spectroscopic parallax is a derived method of
estimating distance that ultimately depends on the yardstick of
direct measurement, trigonometric parallax. The distances to very
remote objects that are found by either method must be treated
with great caution.

 Introduction
The
Galaxy Maps
The Galaxy Maps are plotted from the 1998 September 16th
version of the (fA Redshift Survey and Catalogue of Galaxies.
The key to the maps assumes a Hubble (onstant Ho = 65·202
km per second per Mpc, such that each kilometre per second
of recession velocity equates to a separation of 15.337 pc.
Outside of a general recession all galaxies have their own
individual motions relative to other galaxies, A small number
of galaxies close to the Milky Way show negative velocities-
they are getting nearer rather than farther away. Because
objects with negative velocity cannot be plotted on maps
where distance is related to redshift, these galaxies have been
excluded from the maps (examples are M98 and M86). These
exclusions highlight the fact that redshift is not a reliable
indicator of distance for the nearest galaxies, The large and
Small Magellanic Clouds (LMe, SMC) are not shown on the
stereographs, but they are shown on the annotated maps to
give a location.
The Galaxy Maps are shown in a projection centred on the so·
called 'galactic poles' (elsewhere shown as NGP and SGP on
Bright Star Maps 6 and 9). The galactic poles are found at 90"
to the Galactic Equator, the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy
itself. The Sun and Solar System is located within the plane of
the Milky Way Galaxy, about 10 kpc out from the galactic
centre observed in the direction of Sagittarius, galactic
longitude 0". Most visible stars and obscuring clouds of gas
and dust local to our Galaxy are found in the galactic plane.
They shut out the light of more distant galaxies to form a
'plane of obscuration' 40" to 60" deep, seen along the foot of
maps 2- 5 and the head of maps 6- 9. The seeming rarity of
galaxies in this region is an illusion, an artifact created by the
conditions of observation.
The (fA Redshift Catalogue is compiled from more than fifty
sources. Individual observatories and observation programmes
observe galaxies in particular areas of the sky to different
limits and criteria of measurement and recording, so the
completeness of the catalogue varies.
After removal of disallowed sources, and with the exception of
objects listed from four other sources, the maps plot all objects
in the 1998 version of the catalogue to a magnitude limit of
64
15·99. The galaxy fields from the four source catalogues
numbered 27, 36, 40, and 51 all appearto have been surveyed
to an untypicallevel of completeness. The boundaries of the
survey fields matched declination bands on trial plots, and
risked producing observation artifacts that could be mistaken
for the contours of natural clustering. For this reason, objects
listed from these source catalogues have been restricted to
magnitude 14·99. Other congregations of object plots seen on
the maps might represent observation artifa cts, might
describe real clusters, or might be some combination of the
two. Right ascension and declination coordinates are given for
the approximate centre of some of these plot groupings.
A feature of the annotated maps is the conventional
constellation boundaries, which give a sense of the more
familiar celestial coordinate system, and allow the major
clusters of galaxies to be located against the regions of the sky
after which they are frequently named. However, the dedicated
naming of individual galaxies and clusters of galaxies is
restricted to a few well·established examples. A limited
annotation concentrates on brighter and nearer objects.
Numbers without prefix are NGC numbers; prefix '1(' denotes
Index Catalogue numbers, prefix 'M' denotes Messier numbers,
and prefix ' R' (fA Redshift Catalogue numbers. The
compression used in the representation of depth follows a
logarithmic curve. The page distance is set at 10 Mpc.
Some Interesting Structures
The most fascinating thing about illustrating galaxies in 3·0 is
the way it shows up elements of structure in the way that the
galaxies are distributed. Such structure is particularly easy to
see among clusters of fainter and (by implication ) more
distant objects. In preparing the maps it was possible to show
objects to a fair degree of completeness, perhaps magnitude
14, and lose some of the structure, or else to show as much
structure as possible and lose completeness. We chose the
second option.
The dominant feature of the northern galactic region is the
line of galaxies running from Ursa Major to Centaurus (seen
running diagonally across the North Circle map), and
concentrated in the region running through Virgo (map 1). This
line of galaxies has been given various names, including 'The
Great Wall' and 'The Supergalactic Equator'. The concentration
of galaxies along this axis is undeniable, although the limit of
representation at one-tenth the speed of light means that this
area represents what is still a comparatively small volume of
space in the universe.
The major structure in the southern region is equally obvious.
A line of galaxies runs in an arc from Perseus (map 8) through
Andromeda and Pegasus to Lacerta (map 7). Another filament
runs from Cetus (map 7) through Pisces, with a nearer cluster
between the two filaments in Pegasus. How many filaments
are there? Richard Monkhouse sees three strands along the
northern side and favours the name 'Twisted Rope' to describe
this particular element. John Cox favours the name 'Southern
Wall' to cover the whole of the larger grouping. There are
elements of bridging structures running through Aires and
(celestial) east Pisces (map 8); in some ways the overall
structure resembles a short piece of model DNA. The south side
of the structure has a clean finish, a chasm, another filament,
then a void with concentrated clusters in Phoenix.
Beside these major structures, the maps abound with smaller-
scale groupings and filaments. One such filament appears to
run from behind the Coma Berenices cluster down to a cluster
in Corona Borealis. There mayor may not be a string running
across to a cluster in Serpens.
When viewing the stereographs, you should bear in mind that
the depth scale is extremely compressed. What can look like
layers or shells in the perspective of the stereographs could
in reality be radial structures, streaming away from the
observer's viewpoint to a much greater extent than wrapping
around. There is no getting around this flattening effect, and
the reader has to develop a sense of logarithmic depth to
allow for it.
The observer's viewpoint in the stereographs is the Milky Way
Galaxy, whose obscuring effect has already been mentioned.
What the Milky Way hides can only be guessed at. The Milky
Way is itself a member of a so-called 'Local Group' that is lost
in the present projection, and that group is in its turn an
outlying member of the Virgo Cluster (map 1). By viewing this
area in a relaxed way the reader will find a small fraction
breaks away and floats upwards, these galaxies forming our
connection to the larger grouping beyond.

 Special Views
The eight 'special view' sterographs shown below concentrate
on three subjects, prper motion in stars, comprehensive views,
and galaxy cluster detail. They have been prepared from a
variety of sources.
Views 1-3 show proper motion in stars, and have been plotted
from the Yale Bright Star Catalogue (1991), with distances
calculated from spectroscopic parallax. The circular object
symbol shows the position of the star (epoch 2000). The line
running into the object plot is extrapolated back from the
current proper motion data, and shows the notional track of
the star's proper motion over the last 100 000 years had it
been moving through space in a straight Ine on its current
course and at its current speed over that period.
View 1 shows the proper motion of objects in the Hyades (at
about 50 pc) abd the Pleiades (at about 100 pc) star clusters.
A method of distance determination nort otherwise discussed
in the present work is the 'moving cluster' technique, that
assumes the objects in a star cluster such as the Hyades are
moving on parallel tracks, and calculates the distance from the
perspective, the degree of apparent divergence on
convergence seen in those parallel tracks. That the orange
giant star Aldebaran is not a member of the Hyades cluster is
apparent from its nearer distance and quite different track.
The 'proper motion' of a star is a measurement of apparent
motion from two different sources, the motion of of the star
and the motion of the Sun. That the Sun has its own individual
proper motion in one direction (towards Ophiuchus) is seen
from the way other stars show an apparent motion in the
90
opposite overall direction. This apparent proper motion is most.
visible at about ninety degrees to the direction of the Sun's
motion, in a 'left hand window' towards Perseus (view 2) and
in a 'right hand window' towards Crux (view 3).
Views 4 and 5 combine stars, galactic non-stellar objects, and
external galaxies, with representation of morphological type. Stars
to a limit at apparent magnitude 4.49 are shown with symbol size
representing nearness, and are plotted from the Yale Bright Star
Catalogue (1991). External galaxies are plotted from the (fA
Redshift Catalogue (1998). Galactic and Magellanic non-stellar
objects are plotted from a hybrid catalogue prepared by the
authors from a variety of sources. Of all the sterographs in the
present work, views 4 and 5 cover the greatest distance range and
the widest range of objects. Te star-plots represent objects at a
close range, external galaxies are objects at a far distant range,
and the galactic non-stellar objects are seen in the near to
intermediate range, for the most part distributed along the nearby
arms in the spiral structure of the Milky Way.
Views 6-8 show groupings of external galaxies at a slightly
enlarged scle to those seen in the main series of galactic maps:
view 6 shows the cluster in Coma Berenices (galaxy map 1),
view 7a detail from the filament structure across Andromeda
(maps 7 and 8), view 8 shows the cluster in Centaurus (map 5.)
The special views differ from the main series of galaxy maps
by using a greater distance to the plane of the page, 50 Mpc
in place of 10 Mpc. This opens up the particular fields shown
in the sterographs, and enables them to be seen in grater
separation and detail.
