A ready-made vintage astronomy and night-sky junk journal kit of 20 printable pieces: fourteen of Étienne Léopold Trouvelot's famous astronomical drawings (1872–1881, published 1881–82), with the planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, the moon, a total solar eclipse, the aurora, the Milky Way, the Orion Nebula and the Great Comet of 1881 over an observatory, plus five engraved star charts and a phases-of-the-moon chart from Andreas Cellarius's celestial atlas Harmonia Macrocosmica. Use them for celestial and witchy journals, astronomy scrapbooks, collage, card making and night-sky wall art.

Print sizes at 300 dpi (they vary by piece type; files are never resized):
• Trouvelot astronomical drawings (planets, moon, comets, nebulae) (14): about 23 × 30 in up to 24 × 31 in, big enough to frame as wall art
• Cellarius star charts and moon chart (6): about 16 × 19 in, journal spreads, collage and framed prints
Everything also prints smaller (A5, A6, tags, ATCs) with no loss.

Pieces included: Total eclipse of the sun, 1878 (Trouvelot); Solar protuberances, 1873 (Trouvelot); Aurora borealis, 1872 (Trouvelot); The zodiacal light, 1876 (Trouvelot); Mare Humorum on the moon, 1875 (Trouvelot); Partial eclipse of the moon, 1874 (Trouvelot); The planet Mars, 1877 (Trouvelot); The planet Jupiter, 1880 (Trouvelot); The planet Saturn, 1874 (Trouvelot); The great comet of 1881 over the observatory (Trouvelot); The November meteors, 1868 (Trouvelot); Part of the Milky Way, 1874–76 (Trouvelot); Star clusters in Hercules, 1877 (Trouvelot); The great nebula in Orion, 1875–76 (Trouvelot); Phases of the moon chart, Harmonia Macrocosmica (Cellarius); Northern constellations star chart (Cellarius); Northern starry hemisphere over the earth (Cellarius); Southern constellations star chart (Cellarius); Southern starry hemisphere over the earth (Cellarius); Northern celestial sphere and the earth (Cellarius).

Files: 20 high-resolution JPGs in one zip download (230 MB). Pixel sizes: Trouvelot drawings about 9,100–9,400 px on the long edge; Cellarius charts about 5,800–5,900 px on the long edge. These are the full-size museum and library scans. All pieces are the untouched full-size scans: the Trouvelot plates keep their printed titles and margins, and the Cellarius charts keep the sheet edge around the engraving.
