This projection may have been first developed by Thales around 580 B.C. Its name is derived from the gnomon, the face of a sundial, since the meridians radiate like hour markings. This projection is also known as a Gnomic or Central projection.

The Gnomonic projection is one which has a greater expansion, away from the origin, than a conformal projection. It gives quite a distorted apperance, therefore: ... Hence, on the gnomonic projection, all great circles are represented by straight lines, making it very useful in plotting great circle routes between...

Constructs a new gnomic projection. The center of the projection is given in degrees, right ascension and declination. The dimension of the fits is for normalization. The center of the projection is in CCD pixels, normally the center of the CCD. It corresponds to the ra de of the center.

Map projections: the azimuthal group of projections ... The gnomonic (also called central, azimuthal centrographic or rarely gnomic) projection is constructed much like the azimuthal stereographic, but the ray source is located exactly on the sphere's center; therefore it can present even less than one hemisphere at a time.
