I think what I'd like is a graph corelating sight horizon factors to an estimated minimum star by range
<Greys>
this might need to be a 3D graph
<UmbralRaptor>
hrm
<Greys>
at the very least it's going to need multiple lines to represent different kinds of stars
<Greys>
small stars will need to be brighter faster than big stars, etc
<Greys>
btw I am ignoring nebula and galaxies entirely
<Greys>
so the main sequence is determined by luminosity and color temperature; but it also relates to diameter (indirectly?)

<Greys>
are there any other factors I'm missing for whether a star would be visible? so then we could project the main sequence on a range axis with a ribbon to represent visibility factor
<Greys>
then this would inform the density of representitive star points in the emulation
<UmbralRaptor>
For medium mass stars, there's a rough scaling of mass with everything (temp, diameter, luminosity)
<UmbralRaptor>
I'll need to check my notes on exact mass range, but something like L~M^3.5 between 0.5 and 5 solar masses.

Okay, from notes: there's a rough empirical scaling of L = M^3.7, with L and M in solar luminosities and masses.
<UmbralRaptor>
It holds over 0.3 to 12 solar masses(!)
