Optional color background version will be available per request.

If you have a request of a background, please post the image you would like. It should be at around 1500x1500 or larger, the map is 4500x4500 so I don't wanna have to figure out how to add a background that is 400x400 lol

I'm certainly okay with you using the ARC. It was meant to be used as a reference and a tool, so use it as much as you need. My one suggestion for your completed chart is that you correct the credit for the VIN. 'The Verse in Numbers' was/is authored by J. Chris Bourdier.

Nice.

One crit: I can see what you're trying for, but I'd recommend against the starfield background (or at least that starfield background). It gets a bit distracting, even without the map's own planets/stars to keep track of.

Hmm my post didn't show up the first time, opps..

Thanks Jellowjacket!! Its a most excellent guide!! Cant imagine how long it took to make!

@Cybersnark, I used that image as it was the only real (Hubble Telescope) star image that was 3000x3000 so it filled most of the map, but I may change it, thanks for the input!

Updated the second map image above (Don't worry, I wont add anymore big images to this thread)

Updates:
Added Credits, let me know if there correct
Added the three Asteroid Fields. (tried to make them look real)
Added a missing orbit for the Red Sun

Note: I will not be using QM's small image systems as I want this to be 100% original, so I'll be removing that part from the credits.

Now the hard part, adding the Suns, Gas Giants, Planets and Moons.

*Almost hypnotic.*
It is in a way isn't it lol

Updated the first image, shows the missing orbit for the Red Sun and has the asteroid fields (For those that don't like the color background) I'm actually building on that first image, then I'll release both versions. Added the suns as well.

Ive already started adding the suns, and working on the White Sun system..

BTW The asteroid field around the white sun, is it called the Halo or Hale?

It is Halo. My reference is page 5 of 14 in ARC of the Verse, version 2.0 Astrogation Reference Charts at http://pics.fireflyprops.net/PACE-ARC-2.0.pdf

Quote:
Halo Asteroid Belt
Primary: White Sun
Inner Boundary: 5,983,914,800 km (40 AU)
Outer Boundary: 6,432,708,410 km (43 AU)
Average Width: 448,793,610 km (3 AU)
Number of cataloged objects: 78,472,112
Asteroid designation uses numbers and letters (excluding i, l, o, and z). Example: A/2223(White Sun)3a45b

Ok thanks, I have another question, in (ARC of the Verse) the white Sun system, (Im done for the most part) what is:
Dukkha and Ra Amiran? Are they large asteroids? They have there own orbits but not sure what they are?

Also there is text in white sun area:
4.722 AU Li Si
4.722 AU Zhao Gao
Tide (Fusu)4.722 AU
4.722 AUHuhai
4.722 AU Jianglu
Changjiao4.722 AU
4.722 AUIsis

Any idea what that is for?

Thanks for the info :)
