know where to get one?
Does anyone know where to get a starmap of the Milky Way, complete with names? I've looked and could not find one. Do any of you know where I could get one?
Thanks

Nasa?
I really don't know. I don't think I've ever seen a real map. If you do find one, be sure to link it to us.
I don't think you can actually find a map, especially as space, including the galaxy, is tri-dimensional (of course it looks like a disk, but closer you have of course stars in all directions). Plus you have a hefty millions of stars in the galaxy...
What migth be of use is a representation of the ~100 stars that are closest to us, but I fear that it would remind too much of EVC (which did use the name of actual, close stars, plus a few ones such as Arrakis).
Just a few of the first things I found after a quick google search: http://www.projectrho.com/smap07.html http://www.skymap.com/
