Dear Bill,
I have started to make the ancient stars database for the
Chinese/Almagest stars catalogue.

I wish to load all the 250 chinese constellations, actually we have
only the moon/zodiacal.

In the file directory:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/guide-user/files/china/china.zip
you can find my preliminary version.

Now I have a problem: the dataset mode and the overlay more aren't
connected with the real star so the proper motion routine doesn't
work.
I wish, if it is possible, load a constellation lines database that
works as the actual constellations lines overlay routine do.
In the Almagest catalogue as well in the Chinese catalogue I wish
to "connect" a line to an existent star so in the ancient times the
line can moves with the stars …

Regards

Dario
