I am trying to find either a complete map of the modern 88 constellations and their boundaries as described by the IAU, or the data that would allow me to construct them on a spherical projection. I'm usually pretty good at mining for information like this through google, but I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I've only been able to find isolated charts of the various constellations.|||I can't locate these either. Why don't you contact the IAU directly at:
IAU - UAI Secretariat
98-bis Blvd Arago
F鈥?5014 PARIS
FRANCE
Or by email at: iau@iap.fr|||You can download computer data files for the original (1875 epoch) or the present (2000 epoch) boundary line descriptions at:

Replogle Globe company makes a 12 inch lighted constellation globe with boundaries in 3D, and Amazon sells it for about $60. See www.weatherbuffs.com
