Description
Bernard’s Nautical Star Chart is designed for readers working with nautical astronomy who require assistance in identifying the night sky. Navigational stars are highlighted in red, and constellations are described along the map margins.
The chart displays stars from the Nautical Almanac within declinations of 70 degrees north and south. The reverse side features a table of navigational stars, right ascension, and declination, along with explanations and practical information for star observations.
Supplementary material on the solar system, symbols, abbreviations, and stellar positions makes the chart a useful aid for learning and revision. For calculating current observations, the chart is used in conjunction with an updated nautical almanac.
The publication is in English and is published by Brown, Son & Ferguson Ltd. ISBN: 9780851745596.
