BRAUN, Friedrich. Himmels-Atlas in transparenten Karten; Gemeinfassliche Himmelskunde, zugleich ein Führer bei dem Gebrauch des Himmels-Altas in transparenten Karten. Stuttgart, Wilhelm Nitzschke
Rare celestial atlas consisting of a large star chart and set of cards upon which the constellations are outlined with pinpricks. The individual stars, painted yellow, glow when backlit. This diaphanous effect was popularized by Franz Niklaus König in his Celestial atlas (1826)
Braun’s figures are explained in great detail in the accompanying Gemeinfassliche Himmelskunde, a ‘guide to the use of the transparent cards’. The publisher Wilhelm Nitzschke appears to have produced this atlas as part of a series “for school and home”. Braun provides a thorough, technical introduction to the heavens, labeling the stars in each constellation with the letters of the Greek alphabet, and providing specific figures for orbital periods and planetary radii.
