Snapshot of the planetary orbital poles

The field of view is about 30°. The yellow dot in the centre is the Sun's North pole. Off to the side, the orange dot is Jupiter's orbital pole. Clustered around it are the other planets: Mercury in pale blue (closer to the Sun than to Jupiter), Venus in green, the Earth in blue, Mars in red, Saturn in violet, Uranus in grey (partly underneath Earth) and Neptune in lavender. Pluto is the dotless cross off in Cepheus.

I prepared this with Paint Shop Pro and MegaStar 4.0.
