This is a photograph of a star chart. The image shows a grid layout with small black dots spread across the background, representing stars in the celestial coordinate system. The chart, titled "Photographische Sternkarten," was created by Joh. Palisa and Max Wolf and includes annotations detailing its production date, location, and contributors. The chart features references to celestial latitude and longitude, presented on an organized grid with numbered divisions running vertically and horizontally along the edges. These coordinates assist in identifying star positions within the mapped sky section. The information provided emphasizes cartographical efforts to document the night sky in 1901.
