I think your Alpha Centauri distance is off by 3 orders of magnitude :)

Edit: I think there are thousands of stars within 200ly of Earth.

Here's an interactive 33ly radius model: https://gruze.org/fly_10pc/ - left click + drag, mousewheel, right click.

Could be more efficient, but this interactive does the trick; shows how loaded our neighborhood is.

Going to hamburger menu -> settings -> show labels brings it to a crawl, though filtering objects helps that a bunch.

Showing only stars with known planets is rather interesting.

This is really cool! Definitely going to be a time sink for me!
