Starting from 1 January 2008, monthly star maps will be available on the Observatory's website.

The star maps display the positions of celestial bodies above Hong Kong in each month. Reference time is midnight mid-month. Marked on the maps are stars normally visible with the naked eye, names of constellations, and positions of planets in that month. Members of the public can make use of the monthly star maps to identify celestial bodies.

The monthly star maps for 2008 are accessible from the following web page:
