Description
Celestial globe projected on the plane, Part I. Represents the fixed stars at the end of 1730 seconds Domains rules of arithmetic and geometry. Inside view of the northern hemisphere centered on the equatorial north pole in a gnomic projection and a declination of 45 degrees North.
It also represents the path of comet C/1590 E1 (developed by Tycho Brahe), C/1618 W1 (Johannes Kepler), C/1652 Y1 (Johannes Hevelius), 1P/1682 Q1 [Halley's Comet] (Johannes Hevelius), C / 1683 O1 (Johannes Hevelius) and C/1699 D1 (Giovanni Domenico Cassini).
The comet of 1692, observed by Philippe de la Hire, seems not to be mentioned in modern cometografie. Engraved between 1716 and 1724.
From Atlas Coelestis published 1742 by J. B. Homann in Nuremberg.

Doppelmayr’s best-known astronomical work is his Atlas Coelestis in quo Mundus Spectabilis et in eodem Stellarum omnium Phoenomena notabilia, circa ipsarum Lumen, Figuram, Faciem, Motum, Eclipses, Occultationes, Transitus, Magnitudines, Distantias, aliaque secundum Nic. Copernici et ex parte Tychonis de Brahe Hipothesin. Nostri intuitu, specialiter, respectu vero ad apparentias planetarum indagatu possibiles e planetis primariis, et e luna habito, generaliter celeberrimorum astronomorum observationibus graphice descripta exhibentur, cum tabulis majoribus XXX, published in 1742 by the heirs of Homann in Nuremberg. In this atlas, Doppelmayr collected most of the astronomical and cosmographical plates which he had prepared over the years for the Homann publishing firm and which had appeared in several of their atlases. These earlier atlases allow us to infer approximate dates for the design and preparation many of Doppelmayr’s cosmographical plates.
The earliest ones are plates 2 and 11 as they were already included in Homann’s first atlas, the Neuer Atlas (Nuremberg, 1707). Plates 3 and 7 to 10 were first published in Homann’s Atlas von hundert Charten (Nuremberg, 1712), whereas plates 1, 4 and 15 to 25 can be dated between 1716 and 1724 as they were not included in Homann’s Grossen Atlas (Nuremberg, 1716), but are mentioned in Hager’s list of plates sold by Homann at his death in 1724.
