[SPEC] Celestial Coordinates linked to sky maps

[msekolpsu]

If anyone looks at this, be sure to reset the Universal Time to 2004-8-24 and convert the clock from PDT to GMT. Also, not sure which direction it should be facing N or S, so watch that.

One more thing suggested by http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=56772#56772 and myself somewhere is to either use the first point and look to the horizon of the second point or since all the times are PDT, start at SanFran for every point and look to the posted points.

Good luck!

While I don't want to disuade you, I did think of this myself, however making the points coencide with major US cities (let alone lie only in the US) and making them map to significant points in the sky seems a little unlikely. It's a good idea and if the coordinates were totaly random then it would be my main theory, however because of the way they fall when mapped onto earth I think they must be related to the geographic locations.

Date not so important; time possibly important
