Stereographic Southern Hemisphere, 1822
Stereographic projection is a mapping technique that projects a sphere onto a plane. The Southern Hemisphere is the half of a planet that is south of its equator, the word hemisphere literally means, half sphere. It is also that half of the celestial sphere north of the celestial equator. A Celestial Atlas (1822) by Alexander Jamieson, inspired by the star atlas of Johann Elert Bode, but restricted itself to stars that could be seen with the naked eye. Comprising a systematic display of the heavens in a series of thirty maps illustrated by scientific description of their contents and accompanied by catalogues of the stars and astronomical exercises, plate 28, 1822.
