This is essentially a hand-painted star map. I used a map of the sky in June, seen at about 9 PM from someplace in the Midwest, and, apart from a couple of places where I leaned into my artistic license, I made an effort to be accurate. Admittedly, I used renaissance methods of transcription, so it is not up to the accuracy standards of NASA. Do not use this map for navigation during space travel.
