Again, started off with Cartes du Ciel.
Tried to use GIMP this time, for the image editing. Bad idea. Things were awkward, slow, difficult, convoluted. And it wasn't GIMP's fault! I chose the wrong tool for the job; GIMP is a photo editor not an object-oriented drawing application. Near the end, GIMP crashed and I had not saved for 2 hours! DOH!
Considered Illustrator briefly. Re-did the work in Fireworks. Went very smoothly.
New with this edition:
- larger image: 1280 x 884 pixels
- 51 weeks shown
- ecliptic shown
- other planets nearby with date stamps
- Sun nearby with date stamp
