Maps and Images
Milkyway
Extremely high-resolution images of our Milky Way, optionally with or without bright stars. They can be mapped on Povray's Sky-Sphere and make space scenes look completely different. Matching separate images to represent constellation lines, borders, and a grid.
Databases and catalogues
HYG-Lite star catalogue
The original HYG catalogue used as a basis contains data from almost 120,000 stars. I have adapted, trimmed and documented it for my purposes. The resulting SQL import files and Povray arrays are ready for download.
Lunar Crater Catalogue - LCC 1.0
Database table and Povray array contains names, sizes and positions as well as other information from about 9,000 craters and surface features on the Moon. It was generated on the basis of two text files, and then supplemented with missing information and columns.
