A Field Book of the Stars/The Diagrams
THE DIAGRAMS.
THE diagrams, it will be observed, are grouped under the seasons, and they indicate the positions of the constellations as they appear at 9 o'clock p.m. in mid-season.
To facilitate finding and observing the constellations, the student should face in the direction indicated in the text. This applies to all constellations excepting those near the zenith.
The four large plates are so arranged that the observer is supposed to be looking at the southern skies. By turning the plate about from left to right, the eastern, northern, and western skies are shown successively.
This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
