If you are new to star maps, you might find the following useful. On the other hand, you might not. There’s just no helping some people.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0colours\u00a0<\/b>of the stars are not as strong as shown on our maps, but they do match the types of star. Blue stars are very hot, while red stars are cooler. Just don’t expect the colours in the real sky to be as vivid as they are here.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0green symbols<\/b>\u00a0mark nebulae and clusters \u2013 what look like fuzzy patches. You usually need binoculars or a telescope to see them.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0dotted lines\u00a0<\/b>show the official boundaries of the constellations<\/p>\n
