Star Almanack

Chart Library

An atlas of the heavens: complete reference collections and selected astronomical artwork.

The Seasonal Panoramic Atlas contains 14 original SVG sky charts. Open a card for its full-resolution chart. Other collections remain in development.

Constellation Atlas

86 of the 88 IAU constellations currently represented, with Serpens Caput and Serpens Cauda on separate charts: 87 views. Mensa and Microscopium remain to be completed.

Asterism Atlas

The complete Star Almanack catalog of 28 asterisms, including familiar sky landmarks.

Panoramic Sky Atlas

Fourteen regional views: Arctic, Northern, Tropical, Southern, and Antarctic.

Geographic regions are bounded by the polar circles and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.

Selected Planet Finders

Curated charts of planets among the stars.

Meteor Shower Finders

Wide-field radiant charts and their guide constellations.

Eclipse Charts

Selected eclipse geometry, timing, and visibility diagrams.

Deep-Sky Finders

Selected Messier, Caldwell, and other deep-sky object charts.

Special Events

Selected conjunctions, alignments, and other celestial events.

Reading the sky

Panoramic charts will show the celestial equator, ecliptic, celestial tropics, poles, horizon, and cardinal directions. Ecliptic labels will distinguish twelve equal 30° tropical zodiac signs from the unequal IAU constellation spans, including Ophiuchus. Reference overlays and Greek, Mixed, and English labels are planned.

Charts will be generated using the Almanack's established calculations and reused by reference, with permanent identifiers and links back to their observing pages.
