You can do this up to a half dozen times or so. Want to use part or all of an article on our website or in one of our publications?

This applies to diagrams, graphs, charts, creative illustrations, and any other piece of art in our print or digital publications, on our website, or that are part of our other products (for example, globes). If it’s one of our diagrams or illustrations but we haven’t made it public-you need to ask us.If using the image online, please link back to our press release. The correct credit line will appear with the image in our press releases/on the IAU site. You will still need to include a credit line with these images, even though you don’t need to ask us directly.

These are public you don’t need our permission. It’s a constellation chart created in concert with the International Astronomical Union.If you are a member of the media and need a diagram/chart for your newspaper/other outlet medium, look in the press release section first! If you don’t see what you need, let us know and we’ll be happy to help if we can.This generally only applies for diagrams of what a particular celestial event will look like in the sky however, we have occasionally released things like comet photos this way, too. We’ve included it as part of a press release.If the diagram/image/illustration is one of ours, check to see if we’ve already made it available for public use.Example 3: image that says 'NASA' or 'ESA' in the credit line-unless the image is a mosaic or adaptation made by an astrophotographer (see Example 2) or us (see below), the image is public domain-you can use it.Many astrophotographers have their own websites, so try typing the person’s name into your favorite search engine. Example 2: astrophotography image in our gallery or in our magazine with a credit line that doesn’t include “ S&T”-that’s not ours, you need to ask the photographer.Example 1: celestial event illustration with credit line “ Sky & Telescope diagram”-that’s ours.If it doesn’t, we can’t: we ourselves had to ask permission to use the image (and, often, we’ve paid to do so). If it says S&T, then we hold the copyright and can provide permission. Want to use an image, diagram, or other illustration you’ve seen on our website or in our magazine? Here’s what to do:

Using Sky & Telescope Articles (Excerpts or Full Text) Using Sky & Telescope Images or Illustrations Please consult the below before submitting your permissions request - the answer to your question might be here! Following these guidelines will also speed up the process. To read more about using star charts at the telescope, see ' How to Use a Star Chart at a Telescope.Looking to use content you’ve found on or in one of Sky & Telescope’s publications for a project or publication of your own? Here are some guidelines to get you started. But charts come in a variety of shapes and sizes, particularly if you're using one at the telescope. We also offer planispheres, which are customizable star charts that you can take with you anywhere. Our centerfold and interactive sky charts are designed to show stars, planets, and other objects visible to the unaided eye. The map’s center is the zenith, directly overhead. The farther toward the map’s center a star is plotted, the higher it’ll be in your sky. The stars above it will match the stars you’re facing.

Turn the map around so the label for the direction you’re facing is right-side up.

(Note that west is on the right - celestial maps are reversed from Earth-based ones!)

Now look at the yellow direction labels around the map’s edge.

If you’re unsure, just remember where the Sun sets - that’s roughly west.

You’ll start by figuring out in which direction you’re looking.

The basic steps, as outlined in the video above, are these:
