RE: Our Stellar Neighborhood
I see! Thanks for the detailed info! So you basically created your own projection. I really love this software you're using!

Yeh you can do virtually anything with the built-in Python scripting engine. I used Blender Python to read in the X,Y,Z coords from a file and did the above transformation.
Where did you get the X,Y,Z coords? Observations through some sort of software or available values somewhere on the net?
Actually, I took the list of X,Y,Z from my first reference. But I could have calculated them using Right Ascension, Declination and Distance from one the available catalogs which can be downloaded in column delimited formatted.
