STAR DECK GUIDE TO THE CONSTELLATIONS BY MICHAEL K SHEPARD PH D Cii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Constellations by Season Guide to the Constellations Andromeda Aquarius Aquila Aries Auriga Bootes Camelopardus Cancer Canes Venatici Canis Major Canis Minor Capricornus Cassiopeia Cepheus Cetus Coma Berenices Corona Borealis Corvus Crater Cygnus Delphinus Draco Equuleus Eridanus Gemini Hercules Hydra Lacerta Leo Leo Minor Lepus Libra Lynx Lyra Monoceros Ophiuchus Orion Pegasus Perseus Pisces Sagitta Sagittarius Scorpius Scutum Serpens Sextans Taurus Triangulum Ursa Major Ursa Minor Virgo Vulpecula Additional References Copyright Michael K Shepard C GUIDE TO THE STAR DECK Introduction As an introduction to astronomy you cannot go wrong by ?rst learning the night sky You only need a dark night your eyes and a good guide This set of cards is not designed to replace an atlas but to engage your interest and teach you the patterns myths and relationships between constellations They may be used as ?? ?eld cards ? that you take outside with you or they may be played in a variety of card games The cultural and historical story behind the constellations is a subject all its own and there are numerous books on the subject for the curious These cards show of the modern constellations as designated by the International Astronomical Union Many of them have remained unchanged since antiquity while others have been added in the past century or so The majority of these constellations are Greek or Roman in origin and often have one or more myths associated with them Many of these myths are summarized in the accompanying Constellation Guide I have often followed convention or at least the majority in the patterns I have drawn for each constellation In some cases I have diverged from convention and drawn the pattern that I myself see I have attempted to limit each constellation to stars of th magnitude or brighter so that they are visible from most suburban viewing locations In a few rare cases dimmer stars are required In some instances I have left out easily seen stars because they do not contribute directly to the pattern and may even detract from it Many people make the mistake of trying to ??see ? the shape of the constellation in each pattern of stars I say mistake because often the pattern bears little resemblance to the name In my experience it is better to develop some mnemonic between the pattern and the name In many cases the name is appropriate for the mnemonic ?? Delphinus looks like a dolphin In others one ? s imagination must be employed a bit more rigorously Under each description I have given the mnemonic that I use You may ?nd it helpful or you may ?nd one better for you For users in the northern mid-latitudes N America Europe Asia this card subset of this deck is su ?cient to cover every constellation that can be easily seen happily corresponding to a standard card deck for playing card games
