The generation ships will be within a 1000ly buble centred on Earth, & possibly only about half that, so Pleiades region is possible.
can someone with some simple 3D glasses make a test on the picture ?
It's rudimentary, but I graphed the ones we know of. I will continue this tonight.
However, I am having to move soon. So if some one wants to take up this particular path please do so.
EDIT: I do rather enjoy this. I wish we had more tools for cartography. It's been a blast exploring this moon's surface.

The pictures we have tend to be monochromatic. How would we find out which bits to convert to red and which ones to blue? (provided thats the type of 3d glasses you're referring to)
I am so anxious to learn these secrets. I care more about this than christmas haha!
Please. Michael Brookes, Kerrash, anyone. Feed my cold turkey haha

Reading about barnackles, UA and Up's now and then. It seems all centered around M5c. I read comments like it all points towards Merope and Merope 5 C. What if the search must be the opposide direction????
Instead of thinking it points to Merope, it points away from Merope towards their origing system? The Artifacts/probes arent exactly arrow shaped, so maybe people need to search away from this system.
So if an artifact or probe is found, select merope system and look for a system the opposide of the route Merope -> artifact/probe.

There was a spectral analysis with two 'sets' of the image posted a while back. I already raised the point of a stereoscopic image visible with 3D glasses, someone tried it, but reported no luck.
Ah then its possible, I was thinking way under 1000ly so...yeah proven wrong xD

One of the problems with the pointing is they "always" point towards the star/planet from any angle or Side of it So they could technially be pointing to millions of other stars
There won't be anything to see. In theory one could make an audio file with the left right channels shifted such that a resulting spectrogram image of each channel could be interpreted in 3d but this isn't that.
Normally in a spectrogram the 3rd dimension (in addition to frequency and time) is amplitude. That's either displayed as false color or in some packages as an actual 3d plot. Our eyes are adept at seeing gradients in color so from examining the false color images from various images and packages there's no strong structure there, it mostly decreases in amplitude from low to high frequency (Y axis) but not in time (X axis)
*IF* the amplitude has meaning you could possibly tell whether the sphere is concave or convex. If the amplitude peaks at the center and falls off toward the edge then presumably it's convex, if it's lowest at the center and increases toward the edge then presumably it's concave.
Personally I'm skeptical, the sensitivity is too low and in general the amplitude decreases roughly inversely proportional to frequency and doesn't appear to vary with respect to time. Still, I might take a moment to look at that part, my prediction is folks will read more into it than is actually there if something is 'found'.

I was beaten to death for this theory in thread no 7.
They point to Merope from any system, so the opposite direction would be different in every system, so it can't point at anything specific.
I mean no offense, really, but given how many times this suggestion is coming out again and again, I'm starting to think that a simple test should be necessary, before posting on this thread.
A test with a single question:
Given an UA that is pointing to Merope with one of its two ends, from WHEREVER you drop it around the Galaxy, I MEAN IT: WHEREVER
a) it is pointing to Merope for real!
b) it is pointing away from Merope, in the opposite direction!
c) it is pointing to this thread...

Didn't Gypsy 12 say he had something he was going to show us when he woke up today? Is he here yet?
That's what I was havering on about earlier. I haven't the know how to get an exact measurement, but by eyeballing the grid, and picking 0,0 as the centre and using the "Pi" line as guide I guestimated a latitude (I think it's called) of around 55. Flew around for a while at around 3km up, angled down to get as much in view as possible, thrusted up at the same time to maintain altitude. Didn't manage to do much before real life called.
I have no idea if thats the sort of thing you meant, but it's all I have just now.
...maybe you were beaten away from death? Maybe the beating was going in the opposite direction?
Really who, I laugh at every post you post: EVERYTIME!
Whenever I see "who?", I know it's you, and I'm ready to laugh!

d) it won't be long till the Aliens complain about their missing TV satellites.
