Space Telescope Institute: Their on-line archives include GIF/JPEG images of photographs taken by the
Hubble as well as press releases (many of them technical in nature)

pictures are created.
The Stellar Database gives a list of stars with data on each star as a distance from any given point. The first page only allows you to see the 100 nearest stars to Sol, but if you pick Sol as your star and the data page comes up, you can then chose stars between any given light years, i.e. find stars at least 48 LY and less than 52 LY from Sol.
Your Sky is an interactive planetarium that can produce maps for any time and date, viewpoint, and observing location.
