A Catalogue of 9766 Stars in the Southern Hemisphere, for the Beginning of the Year 1750, From the Observations of the Abbe De Lacaille Made at the Cape of Good Hope in the Years 1751 and 1752

This astronomical catalogue is a comprehensive mapping of stars located in the Southern Hemisphere. The observations made by de Lacaille in the mid-18th century at Cape of Good Hope in South Africa helped discover and establish newly named constellations and provided astronomers with an essential tool when studying celestial bodies. The catalogue provides the coordinates, brightness, and luminosity of more than 9,700 stars in the southern region of the sky. It is an indispensable resource for both professional and amateur astronomers.
