When are we going to see a 3d representation of the Milky Way, we do all this computing for ???? yet I cant seem to find any graphics, I can't believe I actualy joined way back in 2006 and can't recall seeing any graphic picture. Please post a link.

There are a few videos of what Nbody looks like:

The first two show what your simulations actually look like, while the third is an example of what the software is capable of.

Separation is a bit more boring to look at, unfortunately. See page 8 of this paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1807.03754.pdf) for an example of what the separation application results look like. I have preliminary figures of what the separation results look like in the Galactic south, but they aren't quite ready for publication at this time.
