The dumbest plot hole I know of is in the BBC series Sherlock. In one episode, Sherlock discovers that a painting is fake because the painting contains an astronomical object that did not exist in the purported time of the painting's creation, but does exist now.

That makes no sense. If you're putting forth the effort to make the starfield true to life, you might as well use historical astronomical charts. It's not like you can paint plein air at night (which the show implied was happening). And any normal painter will not go through the trouble to make the stars anything like accurate if it's just a normal landscape.

The plot hole is worse because they establish earlier that episode that Sherlock does not know about the Copernican model of the solar system (because he only knows useful things) but he has memorized the star charts for every latitude over the past 400-odd years. Absurd.

All this is to say that I'm trying to draw accurate starfields here, and even doing two starfields the same on the same page is not easy (and I haven't even done a very good job, tbh).

Etherwood updates Tuesdays - but to start off, I'm uploading the entire first chapter (24 pages) here. After that, it will be weekly updates.
