	Ian Ridpath’s Star Tales
		By the eighth century AD the centre of astronomy had moved east from Alexandria to Baghdad where Ptolemy’s work was translated into Arabic and received the name Almagest by which we still know it.
		Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (903–86), known also by his Latinized name of Azophi, was an Arabic astronomer who produced a revised and updated version of Ptolemy’s Almagest called the Book of the Fixed Stars (in Arabic, Kitab suwar al-kawakib) around AD 964.
		As well as a translation of Ptolemy’s catalogue, this book contained a listing of the Arabs’ own star names, magnitudes determined by al-Sufi himself, and two drawings of each constellation, one as it is seen in the sky and one reversed right to left as it would appear on a celestial globe.
