Heaven's Above (this Part of the World)

The glorious Chart of Heavens Above the Southern Hemisphere by Dutch cartographer Jan Jansson from 1661.

The Southern Cross can be seen clearly (it's depicted literally with a cross) at the bottom of the image. This map is an example of star cartography, an endeavour where the 'celestial bodies' are mapped as an aid for understanding the heavens (for astronomers) and also perhaps once used for navigation (by, er, navigators) – although that may be a bit of a long shot for me. Turn left at the centaur?
