Summary[edit]

Description
English: IAU Auriga chart
This is a map of the constellation Auriga, with the surrounding constellations shaded in gray. Vertical coordinates are in declination while horizontal coordinates are right ascension. The green lines outline the constellation's conventional asterism, while the black dots show the location and apparent magnitude of the visible naked eye stars. The heavy blue line bisecting the constellation represents the Galactic Plane of the Milky Way. The lighter blue line to the south of the constellation is the ecliptic.
