[ Polus Borealis. Via Tactea. Ursa Minor. Draco ]

This celestial map, by Anthony Finley, features the constellations Draco, Ursa Minor, and Cepheus in stunning detail. Rendered on a polar projection, the stars are plotted with clear magnitudes and accurate placement against the celestial grid. The constellations are depicted with mythological figures: Draco, the serpent, winds its way between Ursa Minor, the Little Bear, and Cepheus, the king. The artistic depiction is complemented by the hand-colored illustrations of the figures, which reflect a blend of astronomical accuracy and the artistic tradition of celestial atlases.
