Can't help but feel the location is given erroneously, and should contain be -37.27 rather than 37.27. This brings it within sensible Clan Wolf borders, and in line with ISCS co-ordinates too. -[[User:Rushyo|Rushyo]] ([[User talk:Rushyo|talk]]) 11:40, 2 February 2015 (PST)

:The map in place in the article is somewhat inaccurate. The coordinates do need to be updated - the last set of interpreted coordinates for Skallevoll have it at 37.294: 435.924, and were calculated using GIS software and the 2764 map issued recently. From the edit history, it looks like finger trouble led to a typo when the coordinates were updated a few years ago. There's some detail on my talk page and on the article linked to by the e template that explains how the mapping was done, and it's been confirmed that it's very accurate. The ISCS  co-ordinate system has a number of errors in it, in part because of the sources of information they used. As a case in point, all of the maps on the wiki were generated automagically by Nic using the ISCS co-ordinates, and you can see some of the problems - like Skallevoll being almost on top of Pinnacle, rather than 34.914 light years away. It may be worth you asking [[User:Volt|Volt]] for more detail on how the co-ordinates were calculated, if you want to confirm their accuracy.
