All images are from Urania's Mirror, an 1824-5 set of star charts.
-
Noctua, Corvus, Crater, Sextans Uraniæ, Hydra, Felis, Lupus, Centaurus, Antlia Pneumatica, Argo Navis, and Pyxis Nautica
- Reason
- Per my FA push for Urania's Mirror, I'm trying to restore all 32 plates - although I suspect two will have to be pulled from FP as the LoC does not make high-resolution copies available for those at present, so I'm having to go with next-best-thing. Hopefully I'll pick those up soon.
- Anyway, as I said, I'm trying to break this into manageable nominations, so this nomination handles all the constellations of The Sea - Capricornus, Cetus, Delphinus, Eridanus, and Hydra - excepting those three which are already featured - Aquarius and Piscis Austalis and Pisces
- Three more sets remain after this one, four if I manage to source a good Orion and/or Pegasus.
- Articles in which this image appears
- All are in Urania's Mirror, they are also, with rare exceptions, in all of the constellations linked in their respective descriptions.
- FP category for this image
- Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Artwork/Others is where they've been going; I'd go with some division of Space, myself, but we can discuss that later.
- Creator
- Sidney Hall and Richard Rouse Bloxam, after Alexander Jamieson, restoration by Adam Cuerden.

- Note I decreased the vertical thumbnail sizes so they're less overwhelming on the FPC nominations page. --Pine✉ 18:38, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- I tried fiddling with that, but honestly wasn't getting anything that took up substantially less space, since it's too many to get under two rows Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:54, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- Support - As with the other star chart cards, good solid pictures. --CyberXRef☎ 00:33, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
