A88146	Astroscopium, or Two hemispheres, containing all the northern and southern constellations projected upon the poles of the word [sic], according to the observations of Mr. Halley, which (by the help of a moveable horizon) are rendred serviceable in any latitude : the uses of which hemispheres are illustrated by variety of examples : whereunto is added, the antient poetical stories of the stars, shewing reasons why the several shapes and forms are pictures on the coelestical globes.	Lamb, Francis.; Lea, Phillip, fl. 1683-1700.; Hood, Thomas, fl. 1582-1598.	1700 (1700)	Wing L205E; ESTC R42465	28,413	65

Diameter of the Horizon from the Pole or Center down wards calling 80 deg 10 deg and 70 deg 20 deg c. So keeping your Finger ot setting a Pin in that Point turn the Horizon round about and all those Stars which are between your Finger and the Pole do never Rise nor Set but are always above that Horizon And all such Stars whose Declination are greater then the Complement of any Latitude do never Rise or Set in that Latitude And all such Stars in the contrary Hemisphere whose Declination do exceed the Latitude those Stars do never Rise or appear in that Latitude And thus if you lay the Diameter to Lucida Lyra you shall find that Star to lie just under 51 deg 30 min. if you count the degrees from the Pole downwards so that in the Latitude of 51 deg 30 min. when that Star is to the West-ward of the South part of the Meridian it continually Descends Lower and Lower till being Arrived to the North part of the Meridian and then it immediately begins to Ascend till it Arrives to the Southern part of the Meridian again Probl. 11. To find the Longitude of any Star or any Stars Place in the Ecliptick LAy a String or Rule from the Pole of the Ecliptick which is marked in each Hemisphere dy the Character ☉ and is at the Intersections of the Solsticial Colures with the Artick and Antartick Circles to the Center of the Star whose Longitude is required and so shall the String or Ruler cut in the Ecliptick Line and also in the Equinoctial the Sign and degree of the Stars Longitude So a Ruler laid from ☉ the Pole of the Eclptick to Aldebaron or the Bulls-Eye it will cut both the Eqinoctial and Ecliptick-Circles in 5 deg 31 min. of Gemini or in 65 deg 12 min. of the Circle of 360 deg And laid from the Pole of the Ecliptick ☉ to the Lions Tail it shall cut the Ecliptick and Equinoctial both of them in 19 deg of Virgo or in 169 deg of the Circle of 360 deg Probl. 12. To know what Stars shall be upon the Meridian at any Hour of the Night throughout the Year LAy the Diameter of the Horizon upon XII and XII and move the Hemisphere about till you bring the Day of the Month just against the proposed Hour so shall all those Stars which lie under the Diameter of the Horizon be upon the Meridian at that Hour of the Night Thus if it were required to know what Stars shall be upon the Meridian upon the 14th of January at 8 of the Clock Lay the Diameter of the Horizon upon XII and XII then turn the Hemisphere about till you bring the 14th day of January to lie just against VIII in the Hour Circle then will all those Stars which lie just under the Diameter of the Horizon be upon the Meridian at VIII of the Clock that Night of which you shall find Aldebaron or the Bulls-Eye to be the Principal And at 4 minutes after XI that Night will the Little Dog be upon the Meridian Probl. 13. To know what Stars will be upon the Meridian at Midnight any Night in the Year LAy the Diameter of the Horizon upon the Day of the Month so shall all the Stars which lie under the Diameter be upon the Meridian at XII of the Clock This needeth no Example but you may find that upon Feb. 6. the Lions Heart Feb. 16. the Lions Back March 3. the Lions Tail March 27. the Virgins Spike will be upon the Meridian at XII at Night c. Probl. 14. To know at what Hour of the Night any Star will be upon the Meridian LAy the Diameter of the Horizon upon XII and move the Hemisphere about till the Bulls-Eye lies just under the Diameter then just against the first day of January in the Circle of Months you shall find 55 Minutes past VIII in the Hour Circle which shews that at that time the Bulls-Eye will be upon the Meridian Probl. 15. To find the difference of Longitude or the Horary Distance of any two Stars BRing one of the Stars against XII in the Hour Circle then lay the Diameter of the Horizon upon the other Star and what Hour that cuts counted from XII upon the Hour Circle is the Distance of Longitude or Horary Distance of these two Stars Thus Let the two Stars be the Bulls-Eye and the Lions Tail Bring the Lions Tail to XII and then if you lay the Diameter of the Horizon upon the Bulls-Eye you shall find it to cut 7 Hours and 15 minutes which is 109 degrees and such is the difference of Longitude of these two Stars or their Horary Distance Probl. 16. To find the Hour of the Night by the Stars SEE what Star you find to be either upon the North or South part of the Meridian and accordingly bring the same Star to the like Meridian in the Hemisphere Then look the day of the Month in the Circle of Months right against which you have the true Hour of the Night Thus if upon the 20th of January you should find Aldebaron or the Bulls-Eye to be upon the South part of the Meridian bring Aldebaron just against XII in the Hemisphere then against the 20th of January you shall find 22 Minutes before 8. or 38 Minutes after 7. which is the true Hour of the Night on the 20th of January when Aldebaron will be upon the Meridian Probl. 17. To find the Semidiurnal or Seminocturnal Arch of any Star LAy the Diameter of the Horizon upon VI. and bring the Star justly to touch the Arch of the Horizon Then lay the Diameter of the Horizon upon the Star and count how many Hours are contained between either of the XIIs. for the one is the Semidiurnal and the other the Seminocturnal Arch of that Star Thus if you lay the Diameter of the Horizon upon VI. and bring Aldebaron to touch the Arch of the Hoizon and then lay the Diameter of the Horizon upon Aldebaron you shall find it to cut upon 36 minutes after IIII. if you count the Hours from XII so that the Seminocturnal Arch of that Star is 4 Hours 36 minutes And if you counr the Hours from the other XII you shall find them to be 7 Hours 24 minutes which is the Semidiurnal Arch of that Star it being a Star having North Declination Probl. 18. To find the Amplitude or the Point of the Compass upon which any Star Riseth or Setteth LAy the Diameter of the Horizon upon VI. and bring the Star to touch the Arch of the Horizon so shall the degrees of the Arch of the Horizon contained between the East or West Points of the Horizon shew the Amplitude of that Stars Rising and Setting from the East or West towards the North or South Thus If you lay the Diameter of the Horizon upon VI. and bring the Bulls-Eye to the Arch therefore you shall find it to lie under 26 degrees of the Horizon

and so many degrees doth that Star Rise distance from the true East Point towards the North and Sets so many degrees distance from the West North-ward also because the Star hath North Declination and so his Amplitude of Rising is North-East by East 8 degrees Easterly And his Amplitude of Setting is North-West by West 8 degrees Westerly Probl. 19. To find at what Hour any Star Riseth or Setteth LAy the Diameter of the Horizon upon VI. and bring the Star to lie just under the Arch of the Horizon on the East side Then seek the day of the Month in the Circle of Months and the Hour which standeth against it is the Hour of the Stars Rising And if you bring the Star to lie under the Arch of the Horizon on the West side against the day of the Month you shall have the time of the Stars Setting Thus upon the 25th of December if you would know at what Hour the Bulls-Eye Riseth and Sets Lay the Diameter of the Horizon upon VI. and bring the Bulls-Eye just under the Arch of the Horizon on the East side and against the day of the Month you shall find II Hours from the Meridian which is 2 of the Clock in the Afternoon for the time of that Stars Rising And the Star being brought under the West part of the Horizon the day of the Month shall be against IIII Hours 46 minutes which is 46 minutes after 4 in the Morning at which Hour Aldebaron or the Bulls-Eye Setteth Probl. 20. To know what time of the Year any Star in the Hemisphere will be upon the Meridian at 12 a Clock at Night BRing the Star to XII on the South part of the Meridian then upon that day of the Month which standeth against the North XII shall that Star be upon the Meridian at Midnight Example I would know upon what Night in the Year the Bulls-Eye will be upon the Meridian at 12 at Night Bring the Bulls-Eye against the South XII and against the North XII you shall find the 16th of November upon which Night at 12 of the Clock Aldebaron or the Bulls-Eye will be upon the Meridian Here follows the ANCIENT STORIES Of the several Stars and Constellations Shewing the Poetical Reasons why such Various FIGURES are placed in HEAVEN Collected from Dr. HOOD And First Of the Northern Constellations URSA MINOR This Constellation hath the preheminence because it is nearest of all the rest unto the North Pole and is called of the Greeks Arctos whereupon the Pole is called the Pole Artick for that it is near unto this Constellation It is also called Helice minor because of the small Revolution which it maketh round about the Pole or rather of Elice a Town in Arcadia wherein Calisto the great Bear and Mother to the less was bred It is called Cynosura because this Constellation though it carry the name of a Bear yet it hath the tail of a Dog Last of all it is termed Phoenice because that Thales who first gave the name to this Constellation was a Phoenician And therefore the Phoenicians being taught how to use it in their Navigations did call it by the name of the Countrey wherein Thales was born It consisteth of Seven Stars which the Latines call Septentriones because by their continual motions those Seven Stars do as it were wear the Heaven The Spaniards do call them all Bosina that is an Horn because they may be very well brought into that form whereof that which is the end of the Tail is called the Pole-Star by reason of the nearness thereof unto the Pole of the World for it is distant according to the opinion of most from the true Pole but 3 degrees 30 minutes The Arabians call it Alrukaba And of the Scythians it is said to be an Iron nail and is worshipped by them as a God The two Stars that are in the shoulders of the Bear are called the Guards of the Spanish word Guardare which is to behold because they are diligently to be looked unto in regard of their singular use which they have in Navigation The reason why this Constellation was brought into the Heavens is diversly set down and first in this manner Saturn having received of the Oracle that one of his Sons should banish him out of his Kingdom determined with himself to kill all the Men-children that he should beget whereupon he gave command to Ops his Wife being then great that she should shew him the Child so soon as ever it was born But she bringing forth Jupiter and being greatly delighted with his hair gave the Child unto two Nymphs of Creet dwelling in the Mount Dicte whereof this was one and was called Cynosura the other was Helice Jupiter after that according to the Oracle he had bereft his Father of his Kingdom in recompence of their pains and curtesy translated them both into the Heavens and made of them two Constellations the lesser Bear and the greater Bear Other-some say that it was Arcas the son of Calisto and they tell the Tale on this manner Calisto a Nymph of singular Beauty Daughter to Lycaon King of Arcadia induced by the great desire she had of hunting became a follower of the Goddess Diana After this Jupiter being enamoured with her Beauty and out of hope by reason of her profession to win her love in his own person counterfeited the shape of Diana lay with Calista and got her with Child of whom was born a Son which was called Arcas Diana or rather Juno being very much offended herewith turned Calisto into a Bear Arcas her Son at the age of fifteen hunting in the Woods by chance lighted on his Mother in the shape of a Bear who knowing her Son Arcas stood still that he might come near unto her and not be afraid but he fearing the shape of so cruel a Beast bent his Bow of purpose to have slain her whereupon Jupiter to prevent the mischief translated them both into Heaven and of them made two several Constellations unto the Lesser Bear there belongs but one Star unformed 2. VRSA MAJOR the Greater Bear called also of the Greeks Arctos and Helice consisteth of 27 Stars Among the which those seven that are in the hinder part and tail of the Bear are most observed the Latines call them Plaustrum and of our men they are called Charles Wayn because the Stars do stand in such sort that the three which are in the tail resemble the Horses and the other four which are in the flank of the Bear stand after a manner like the Wheels of a wagon or Chariot and they are supposed by some to be greater than the Sun The reason of the translation of this Constellation into the Heaven is at large set down in the other Constellation and therefore needs not here to be repeated This Constellation was first invented by Nauplius the Father of Palamedes the Greek and in great use among the Grecians and this is to be noted both

ASTROSCOPIVM OR TWO Hemispheres Containing all the Northern and Southern CONSTELLATIONS Projected upon the Poles of the Word According to the Observations of Mr. Halley Which by the help of a Moveable Horizon are rendred Serviceable in any Latitude The Uses of which Hemispheres are Illustrated by Variety of Examples Whereunto is added the Antient Poetical Stories of the Stars Shewing Reasons why the several Shapes and Forms are Pictured on the Coelestical Globes The Second Edition Corrected By Phillip Lea. The Heaven 's a Book the Stars are Letters fair God is the Writer Men the Readers are Globes Sphers Maps Mathematical Projections Books and Instruments are made and Sold by Phillip Lea at the Atlas and Hercules in Cheapside near the Corner of Friday street London 1700. THE DESCRIPTION AND USES OF THE HEMISPHERES EAch of the Hemispheres consisteth of three Pars one whereof is Fixed and the other two are Moveable I. Of the Fixed Part The Fixed Circle is the Hour Circle which is divided into 24 equal Parts or Hours and numbered from XII on either side towards the East and West by I. II. III c. to XII on the contrary side And again each of these Hours is subdivided into 12 equal Parts each Part containing 5 minutes of Time Without this Circle of Hours is another Circle divided into 32 equal Parts and Denominated by the names of the 32 Points of the Mariners Compass discovering the Position of the Stars in the Heavens at any time And of these two Circles do the Fixed Parts of the Hemispheres consist II. Of the Moveable Parts 1. Within these Fixed Circles move the two Hemispheres which are limited within two other Circles called Equinoctials which move with them upon the Poles of the World as their Center The innermost of which two Circles is divided into 360 equal parts or degrees and in a narrow Margine so numbered from the East by the South West and North to the East again by 10. 20. 30 c. to 360 And this Circle or Equinoctial is again subdivided into 12 equal Parts each Part containing 30 deg or one Sign of the Zodiack and Named by the Names and Charactered by the Characters of the Twelve Signs thus ARIES 10. 20. Aries 30 c. The outermost of these two Circles is a Circle of Months and is divided into 12 unequal Parts or Months each Month having its Proper Name and its due number of Days and are thus named and numbered JANUARY 10. 20 30 c. Between the Center of the Hemispheres which are the two Poles of the World and the Equinoctials are inserted the several Stars according to their Right Ascensions Declinations Magnitudes the Northern Stars upon the Northern and the Southern upon the Southern Hemisphere All which Stars are drawn into such Constellations as by the Poets have been Feigned or Attributed to them and such Stars as are In formis are there placed according to their Right Ascensions Declinations and Magnitudes also From the Center or Pole of each Hemisphere to the beginning of the 360 degrees which is at the beginning or first deg of Aries is drawn a Semidiameter which contains one Quarter of the Equinoctial Colure and therefore I shall so call it which is divided into 90 un-equal degrees and is numbered from the beginning of Aries upwards towards the Pole by 10. 20. 30. 40 c. to 90 at the Pole it self Again from the first degree or beginning of Aries to the beginning of Libra in both Hemispheres there is drawn an oblique Arch of a Circle which is divided into six unequal Parts or Signs and each Sign is subdivided into 30 unequal Parts of which the Northern Hemisphere contains the six Northern and the Southern the six Southern Signs each Sign being numbered and Charactered thus Aries 10. 20. 30. Taurus 10. 20. 30 c. This Circle is the Ecliptick and cutteth the Solsticial Colure in the Points Cancer and Capricorn which are 23 degrees 30 minutes distance from the Equinoctial on each Hemisphere There is also upon the Pole or Center of each Hemisphere two Circles described the one passing through 23 degrees 30 min. and the other through 66 degrees 30 minutes that which passeth through 23 deg 30 min. in the Northern Hemisphere is the Tropick of Cancer Southern Hemisphere is the Tropick of Capricorn and that which passeth through 23 degrees 30 minutes of the Northern Hemisphere is the Artick Southern Hemisphere is the Antartick Circle None of these Circles have any divisions at all upon them neither is there any need but ' by them you may discover what Stars are bounded and limited by them All these parts of the Hemispheres hitherto described are general and are of the same use in all Latitudes But to make the uses of these Hemispheres the more ample there is 2. Another Moveable Part added which is an Horizon which Horizon must be peculiar to some certain Horizon or part of the World and although a General or Universal Horizon might easily be contrived yet the conveniences thereof would not be equivolent to the inconveniences And how to make such an Horizon for any assigned Place or Latitude and how to divide the same as also to divide the Equinoctial Colure and the Ecliptick shall be shewed at the end of this Tracture In the mean while take notice that one of the Semidiameters of this particular Horizon as this is here made for the Latitude of London 51 degrees 30 minutes is divided and numbered in all respects and with the same divisions as is the Equinoctial Colure But the Arch of the Horizon is divided first into two equal parts and each of those numbered by 10. 20. 30. c. to 90 from the East and West Points thereof to the North and South and is again divided into 16 un-equal parts and named backwards and forwads from East and West by the Denominations of the Points of the Compass This Horizon is to be applyed to and to move upon the Pole or the Center of either Hemisphere and so renders the Uses of the Hemispheres general for that Latitude Note here that I call the straight part of the Horizon the Diameter and the Circular part the Arch of the Horizon And thus have you an accompt of the several parts of these Hemispheres it resteth now that we say something of the Uses of them THE USES OF THE HEMISPHERES Probl. 1. The day of the Month being given to find the Suns Place SEek the day of the Month in the Moveable Circle of Months and thereto bring the Diameter of the Horizon so shall it cut in the Equinoctial the Sign Degree and Minute that the Sun is then in at Noon that day Example Let the day be the 20th of April and let the Suns Place be required Lay the Diameter of the Horizon upon the 20th of April and at the same time it will cut the 10th degree of Taurus which is the Suns Place that day And so upon the
