How many stars in the Solar neighbourhood

[NoobixCube]

Hi all,
I was wanting to know of any resources out there that can tell me the how many stars of each spectral type there are in the solar neighbourhood.
Any suggestions would be rad!

I pinched this map of the local Stellar Neighborhood from a 3D model I found somewhere
http://www.davesbrain.ca/science/gliese/index.html
I'll try to remember where.

I think you posted the wrong link there. That link talks about an exoplanet...

Go to this site:
http://www.solstation.com/index.html
and try the links under "Maps" and the link "Stars" and "Orbits" under "Support".

I was referring to the specific map on that page. It shows stellar class and location for the 100 or so stars in our neighborhood. I got that data from somewher, I just can't remeber where right now.

Elite 3: the pc game has an entire map of much of the Galaxy in painstaking detail.

Thanks for all the suggestions, but is there not a computer readable table out the with spectral type and star name et cetera?

There are, it will just take a bit of hunting around to find one.

How about this?: http://www.stargazing.net/astropc/doc/ecatinfo.html

Have you tried googling "star catalog"?
