I was wondering if desktop images are available in a design such as the RED TOS background that one can switch to,here on the fleets?( By the way ,I love it).
What was that chart they used to consult their travel path with? A star chart/map??
Is there a site that has such a desk top design for downloading? :star: :Nsalute:

Yes. I am an amateur astronomer, and I use it to model and map out what I want to study in the sky.

Sarika,
Shoot me an email at my Yahoo account - it's in my sig line - and I'll send you a background of the starmap.
It's at home, though, so it might be a while before I can reply.
I'd post it here, but I can't figure out how to attach a pic... :(
