reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0620520 | Open PDF

The theory of the stereographic projection is reviewed and some applications in meteor astronomy are discussed briefly. It is shown that the grid lines for a hemispherical projection may be plotted with an accuracy sufficient for most purposes by drawing only arcs of circles.
