The right ascensions and declinations of the principal fixed starrs in both hemisphears to ye year 1678 RMG F9891

The right ascensions and declinations of the principal fixed starrs in both hemisphears to ye year 1678Single sheet, engraving. Only the northern celestial hemisphere, drawn on the plane of the ecliptic, is on this sheet. The star Cor Caroli (the heart of King Charles - there is some debate as to whether this refers to Charles I or Charles II) is shown. A dedication to Sir Jonas Moore appears above Ursa Major. The magnitudes of stars are indicated by six symbols. At the corners of the chart are four tables of fixed stars and a text panel pasted onto the left border of the sheet describes the use of the planisphere. Seller, Right ascensions
