CONSTELLATIONS.

Busch, Georg: Die andere beschreibung von dem cometen/... 1572. Erfurt, Germany, (1573).
John Flamsteed: Atlas Coelestis, London, (1781).
Anonymous old German manuscript: (circa1450).
Theodorus Maius: Kurtzer bericht von dem Strobelstern Oder Cometen Magdeburg, (1607).

I've been looking into old drawings of constellations and came across some interesting images. A lot of them consisted of drawings of the gods or star signs which then had the mathematical diagrams of the night sky mapped out over them. I'd like to apply this to my own work and consider mixing together old drawings and maps alongside current images. This will be a good way to combine the old, magical side of star signs but keeping it up to date with modern photography that will still appeal to fashion magazines.
