Talk:Land hemisphere

[edit] correct coordinates for hemisphere center?

I rendered a stereographic projection of the land hemisphere ([1]). This projection is suitable to show one hemisphere including adjacent areas without too much distorsion. Now it seems the landmass would be bigger if the center of the hemisphere surface is moved a bit to south. Japan at the top will drop but bigger land masses in South America will get into the hemisphere. Is that an optical illusion or are the coordinates suboptimal? --89.49.196.227 12:02, 11 January 2006 (UTC) (de:Benutzer:RokerHRO)

You should go by hard numbers, not by looks, as I assume whoever originated the coordinates on this article did. ¦ Reisio 19:02, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
