Star positions were plotted by eyeball. Position accuracy is generally +/- 1 degrees. Two mis-spelled constellations and one slightly displaced constellation have been corrected. (One constellation evaded getting drawn on the North Galactic Polar Plot.) A general cleanup of star versus background, along with position and magnitude is in progress. See Commentary on Star Atlas
