Fischer far-side perspective
Description
A projection contrived to give the bounding circle of a hemisphere its true distance from the center for a perspective projection onto a tangent plane.
Classifications
azimuthal
perspective
Graticule
Meridians: Straight lines radiating from the central pole in polar aspect.
Parallels: Concentric circles in polar aspect.
Similar projections
This projection is a specialization of the far-side perspective.
Other far-side perspectives are AMS lunar, Clarke twilight projection, James far-side perspective, Gretschel….
Origin
Proposed by Philipp Fischer circa 1850.
