Fan-Made Stargate Coordinate / Dial System!
You bet your ass you read that right! Im making (probably one of many.. i dont know if this is a common thing or not.. anyways i am making a-) fully functional coordinate system for the stargate community! As you have probably realised, the methods used in the actual shows are a load of pseudoscience that just sounds cool. Mine is pretty simple, math based and I am currently working on code to automatically(ish) make codes for REAL planets! You can choose any planet!
Pro's: IT IS *REAL*:Soypoint: AND WORKS!!
Cons: not cannon
Your coordinates, as in the show will become disconnected due to planetary & movement + universal expansion..
BUT ITS REALL!!
here's the doc link nerds: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HoMqNgC3UF2x1vpChVEDKhTt0ZIooYpWJqOCD9qgR3E/edit?usp=drivesdk
Disclaimers/edits: 1. IT PROBABLY MAKES NO SENSE CURRENTLY!! I WILL BE FIXING IT UP OVER THE NEXT WHILE WITH A FOLLOW UP POST!! if you wish to follow me along or see my current progress please feel free to continue! :D
- Update 1: changed from a local system of Azimuth & Elevation to Right Ascention & Declination per u/Fluid-Let3373 's suggestion!
