Equal Angle Projection

For the Equal Angle projection method, a line is drawn from the center of the top of the sphere (the zenith), to a point A on the sphere (a pole or a point on the great circle). The intersection of this line with a horizontal plane through the center of the sphere, defines the projection point B.
