The main constellations featured are Hercules, Lyra (La Lyre), Boötes (Le Boavier), Corona Borealis (La Couronne), Serpens (Le Serpent), and Serpens Caput (Le Serpenataire). The Milky Way (La Voie Lactée) is also indicated. The constellations are represented by lines connecting stars of varying sizes, with some stars labeled. The chart includes coordinates in the form of Roman numerals and numbers along the edges, likely representing celestial coordinates. There's also text labeling the constellations and other features. The illustration is intricate and detailed, with a classic astronomical style. It's a beautiful example of historical star mapping.
