The links below allow you to download new "constellation figures" for use in SkyMap Pro. These new figures have been created using the constellation figure editor, available on the Tools page of this library area.
Each download link below will download a zip file containing two files - a star list used to create the constellation figures, and a data file "ConstFig.dat" which is the "compiled" figure file. To use the new constellation figures, copy the file "ConstFig.dat" into the "Star" folder of your SkyMap Pro 11 installation directory, overwriting the old file of the same name.
