	Sorry I'm late.

	37 Geminorum on the grand FT map would be at
	-16.6, -3.1, 3.6

	It is closest to ADS 5054 which is currently unclaimed,
	on the Rimward map edge.

	Judging by eyeball, it is surrounded by the Neu Swabian League,
	the Royal Dutch Commonwealth, and the Verenigde Randwaartse
	Compangnie.

	For future reference, go to
	http://www.projectrho.com/smap06.html
	download the HabHyg dataset and import it into
	Microsoft Excel. Save it as HabHyg.xls.
	When a new star comes along
	that you want to know its location, you can
	use Excel to look it up and discover its coordinates.
