Description
This chart shows an internal view of the northern hemisphere centered on the northern equatorial pole in agnomonic projection down to the declination 45° North. Also depicted are the paths of the comets C/1590 1E (observed by Tsycho Brahe), C/1618 1W (Johannes Kepler), C/16521Y (Johannes Hevelius), 1P/1682 1Q [Haleys' Comet] (Johannes Hevelius), C/1683 01 (Johannes Hevelius) and C/1699 1D (Giovanni Domenico Cassini). The comet of 1692 (observed by Philippe de la Hire) does not seem to be mentioned in modern cometographies.
