A page from Uylesti's "Deepsight" Star Atlas, produced in 1830 A.D. on the planet Gymnome prior to their invention of the telescope. Uylesti was of of the first Gymnomi astronomers to employ a scientific approach to occular shapeshifting that allowed them to accurately chart stars down to the 7th magnitude.
The creature in the illustration, the Double-Headed Grazer, is comprised of mostly stars in the core of the Ursa Major Moving Group, meaning it is essentially Earth's Big Dipper constellation seen from a different angle.
The bright star, which we on Earth call Caph, is the second brightest star in the sky.
Here is the map, with Earth names.
And here is a modern photograph of the same area of sky.
