I made a kmz file with the constellations and their names clickable, with a short information from wikipedia, a starchart and a link to the full article in wikipedia. The constellations are by intention faint ones so they wont disturb me much.

I addition (and that`s why the file is so big- 5.8MB) I included some overlay pictures of constellations made from engravings from Johannes Hevelius Firmamentum Sobiescianum (1690) - look inside the Picture overlay Folder to enable them.

A Preview Picture and the download can be found here.

As there are many more depictions of our constellations - and of course of those from other cultures, i wonder if it would be useful to have them together in one file, like a history of constellations and a cultural comparison . If someone is interested in working on that just let me know.
