Scientific paper

The present Astronomical Mapping Program (AMP) has solved the problem of astronomical data plotting, which requires the accurate projection of data based on a spherical coordinate system onto a two-dimensional surface, by using the Mercator, Lambert conformal, and polar stereographic map projection systems. AMP also furnishes users the greatest flexibility in acceptance of the type of data that is to be plotted; both stars and nonstellar objects can be treated by a given mapping run. There is no inherent limitation on the amount of data that the AMP system can map.
