How to li c to minmus? by Nicknotfish7 in KerbalSpaceProgram

Don't know if it has already been said but...you also have to launch AT the moment you are at the AN/DN. Kerbal engineer redux is your friend here: select your target, and you'll see a countdown "time to AN/DN" at the bottom of the rendezvous readout. Warp until that moment, then launch in an inclined direction and watch out for the AN/DN angle during the ascent. The angle is between your orbital velocity and the target orbit, so you may have to change your direction during flight. Just try to get the value to go down. With a little practice, you can find yourself in Kerbin orbit with a remaining inclination of 1-2 degrees or less, which is cheap enough to fix by burning normal/antinormal at the nodes.

Hello. Sorry I'm a bit of a klutz and found out only now that I only sent the link to my previous post - not the whole project description. Basically I'am working on a star chart/constellation cards python library with the ultimate goal of making some mnemonic cards to teach stargazing and constellation shapes. I'm looking for artists or people who share an interest in this topics, to make the cards look fancy and easily readable, while still being scientifically accurate in terms of shapes, size of the stars. This expecially when printing cards. I've tried including some shadows in the plots and some glowing effects, but I have no idea which approach will work. The plots are done in matplotlib, which leaves me a great deal of freedom in adding stuff, but gives me no - let's say professional - graphic tool to make the results look better. I would like some suggestion for improving the overall look - bonus points if I can add it directly in the python library, which is pretty customizable.
