A Star Chart is an item in Kingdom Of Loathing, you use it to combine stars and lines together to make items, Richard's Star Key, Star Sword, Star Helmet, etc.... oh wait, that isn't Astronomy XDA Star Chart is a map of the sky (during night) or a map of the stars, when I first got my telescope I found these sites which are very handy :)An Online Star ChartFree Star Charts... if any body is interested lol
