This celestial chart, titled "Globi Coelestis In Tabulas Planas Redacti Pars VI", is a notable work by Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr, featured in his Atlas Coelestis. The chart presents an internal view of the southern celestial hemisphere, centered on the southern equatorial pole, extending up to 45 degrees south declination in a gnomonic projection.

Prominent constellations depicted include Corona Australis, Sagittarius, Centaurus, Lupus, Triangulum Australe, Pavo, Indus, Grus, Chamaeleon, Apus, Hydrus, Phoenix, Piscis Volans, Dorado, Eridanus, and Argo Navis. The chart also features a precession table covering the years 1700 to 1760, providing valuable astronomical data.

Combining scientific precision with artistic detail, this chart exemplifies the decorative and informative qualities that distinguish Doppelmayr's contributions to 18th-century celestial cartography.
