I was looking specifically for a map or chart showing (what I understand to be) the modern International Astronomical Union's definition of a constellation, as opposed to asterisms. Practically all star atlases will show the IAU boundaries, and many introductory astronomy manuals do as well. The _Field Guide to the Stars & Planets_, from the Peterson series, is probably one of the handiest references that includes a full set of (small-scale) charts; it can usually be found in museum & planetarium book- or gift-shops, or in larger park visitor centres -- if not in your local bookstore. Disclaimer: the only edition I'm familiar with is the old one by Donald J. Menzel, so I'm not certain the more recent version has them. -- Odysseus |
