Orion with Taurus, Eridanus and Lepus: Historical Chart
Orion occupies the centre of a rectangular star chart, with Taurus, Eridanus and Lepus named in the surrounding field. White points vary in size, and fine lines join selected stars. The source identifies Map 16, Orion, in Star Groups. The arrangement combines recognisable stellar patterns with nearby groups, helping place the constellation within a broader historical sky map.
