About this 3D model
My daughter asked me to teach her how to navigate by the stars. My friend the Wayback machine showed me how, courtesy of Quietbay.net. http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20071206161519/http://www.quietbay.net/Science/astronomy/nightsky/ The little tutorial through that link will basically teach you how to navigate by the stars in about 5-10 minutes. I took one of the images from the tutorial, traced the important parts in Inkscape, deleted the image, labeled it, and scaled it down to fit on a sticky note. Since the Inkscape->Gcode extension I used does not fill in paths, the large black swath you see is really just an outline - so it doesn't obscure anything.
