About this work

A hand-colored star chart from 1805 by Johann Elert Bode, showing constellations such as Pegasus, Ophiuchus, Ursa Major and Orion linked by fine lines marking the principal stars. Red dashed figures, blue connecting lines, and degree markings along the ecliptic and equator frame the celestial map, with the Milky Way shaded in pale tones.
