I don't know how to interpret the output figures, but then it wouldn't take
to long to explain to somehow how to plot latitutde and longitude.
Hopefully I can pick up how to do the plotting.  Care to give an
abbreviated lesson to the astro-newbies in the group?  :)

To be honest, my conlang-speaking peoples haven't informed me yet where
their planet is.  Which, in practical terms, means I can pick whichever sun
is most convenient.  :)

Double stars sound fun...  Would there be any complications for life?  I
absolutely have to be able to support an Earth-like environment, and even
more specifically, I need to support us homo sapiens.  Distance away from
Earth really doesn't concern me _that_ much.  Over 20 light years away is
okay by me.  They're not supposed to have any contact with other planets
besides the initial group of humans, anyway.
