Dear All,

I have the coordinates (RA and Decl) of some stars and nebulae in a small 
part of the celestial sphere and want to plot them as a star map. What 
projection method should I use? Does Mathematica has a standard package for 
doing it (just like that for the geo-data)? How do specify the boundary of 
the plot.

Regards,
Dominic
