Well, that helped a little. I think this gets me with reach of the fudge factor, anyway.
Movin' on! ... what's next, I don't even know ... but I can't wait to do it!
MAPMAKING IZ DA BOM can I get a Amen.

Venus Public Transit, Map Of Ceres, Jack Vance's Ports Of Call & Lurulu ... why do I only have 3 maps here?
... what's next, I don't even know ...I always forget tons of stuff on these stupid lists ... but this ought to be enough to keep me busy for an hour or two.
- Planet icons
- Asteroid icons
- Asteroid kingdom heraldry
- Private heraldry (eg. House Linzin @ Triton)
- Legend
- Orbit track graphics
- Logarithmic scale for orbits (color spectrum?)
- Zodiac boundaries
- Zodiac icons
- ??? Latitude indicators
- ??? Orbit overlap (currently have no data!)
- Moons
- Moon menus
- Planetary display menus
- Options menu (units, scale, etc.)
- Place asteroids per longitudes
- Place artifical objects (incl. Oort-1 station)
- Trojans
- ??? and don't forget those "to be investigated" links!

And Greeks.Trojans????

Okay Toff, as you look to be the expert, something I have wondered for a bit, do the asteriods, which I now know are Trojans, Greeks, and even Hildas, rotate around the sun at the same rate as Jupiter, or does Jupiter go crashing into the odd one now and again, and how would one transit such a thing if it did shuffle them around once and awhile,,,I know I could probably look it up myself, but I have an inkling your answer would be more entertaining.
SeerBlue, interstellar rock. on the knowledge scale
SeerBlue is me, but more importantly the Four Happy Carpet Orcs +2 (FHCO +2) are Lizzy (BumbleMouse, 16), Race (Raith Eliathy, 11), Roy (Ol' Horsehair, 9), and Lena Marie (Lemur, 6) Kimi (Whurm,2), and Sachiko (MoMo,1)
All creative inspiration is theirs, from characters to maps to tells, I only fill in the details.
A friend of mine once called me "a jack of all trades but master of none." I think he nailed it. I dabble in many things but I'm no expert anywhere.
Objects at L4 and L5 points, commonly called Trojans (and there are a LOT of them, because any 2 bodies have L points; Mars has Trojans; Saturn and her moons have a couple Trojan systems), orbit at the same speed as the parent. Jupiter's Trojans follow along behind Jupiter, and the Greeks precede Jupiter, equidistant, equivelocitous.
The Hildas are different. I had never heard of them before. They apparently move around between Jupiter's L4 and L5 areas (not points! just CLOSE to the points!) and some other spot of equilibrium on the far side of the sun from Jupiter ... but in a faster, closer orbit. I don't profess to understand this at all. If they orbit faster than Jupiter, how can they "congregate" opposite the sun or near L4 and L5? Don't make no sense to me. I hope to find time to read about it further.
The band New England had a song called "L5"but their biggest hit, "Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya," is a way mo betta song.
