  History - Surveys - Carte Du Ciel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
CdC was an international collaboration project headed by the Paris Observatory.
Even while work on the CPD was going on, the Paris Observatory, which became known as Carte Du Ciel (CdC), put a larger and even more ambitious project in hand.
Yet in spite of the devotion of Gill and his colleagues, work on the Carte du Ciel was not completed until a few years ago (date).

 Benjamin Baillaud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1903, the observatory took over a facility on the Pic du Midi in the Pyrenees that had been founded by amateurs in the 1850s with the goal of putting a telescope there.
However, the height of 2865 metres (9400 feet) posed formidable logistical challenges and the ambition had remained unrealised though a meteorological observatory had operated from 1873 to 1880.
In 1907, he became director of the Paris Observatory where he immediately set to work to relaunch the stalled Carte du Ciel project with a conference held at the observatory, entertained by singers from the Paris Opera and refreshed by wine provided by the director of the Bordeaux Observatory.

History of the the Carte du Ciel and Astrographic Catalogue
The Carte du Ciel was an international effort begun more than a century ago to determine accurate positions for all stars brighter than 11th magnitude using photographic plates and, using another set of plates, to publish charts representing the relative positions of all stars of 14th magnitude and brighter.
The charts proved to be very expensive to photograph and reproduce, so about half of the institutions did not complete this part of the work.

 Charlotte Bigg: The Carte du Ciel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Carte du Ciel, launched in 1887 by Paris Observatory director E. Mouchez, was a significant impetus to the institutionalisation of photographic astrometry internationally.
The adoption of mechanical means of representation, meant to increase speed and precision in the recording of data, brought with it unsuspected social and material changes, however.
Great numbers of unskilled workers, mostly women, were recruited to treat the growing amounts of information supplied by the plates; while the mechanisation of work led to an ever greater standardisation of practices, thus giving the new astrometry a distinctly 'industrial' flavour.

The AC and CdC photographic plates form an all-sky survey down to a moderately bright apparent photographic magnitude (12.2 for AC plates and 14.7 for CdC plates).
Due to the large epoch differences to recent observations, proper motions with an accuracy similar to Hipparcos may be in reach by using AC and CdC plates.
Measurements of a few tens of CdC plates carried out with the measuring machines MAMA (Paris), APM (Cambridge), and PMM (Flagstaff) have already been used in different scientific programmes for studies of open clusters and galactic structure.

This lets us study the intergalactic medium at very large distances (which means also at a very early epoch of the Universe).
"Carte du Ciel": This was the very first photographic survey of the entire sky, which was started back in 1887 in the "Congrès International de la Carte du Ciel" organised by Almiral Mouchez, Sir David Gill and Otto Struve at the Paris observatory.
Its main interest lies in the large time scale that there is between these observations and the ones of nowadays, which leads to the measurement of proper motions of up to 10 million stars with an accuracy of about 2 mas/yr.

During this period and at his instigation, the two great projects that will drive life at the Observatory are undertaken: the Carte du Ciel and the building of a telescope at the Pic du Midi.
Started in 1889 by Admiral Mouchez, the Carte du Ciel is one of the first big scientific projects that is the object of international collaboration.

A second series of plates, the so-called Carte du Ciel (CdC), taken as part of the same survey project as the AC, has not been used systematically for astrometry so far.
The advantage of the CdC is that it reaches about 3 mag fainter than the AC.
The plate limit proves to be at B 15 and a completeness of 80 % is reached up to 14th magnitude.The plates of the CdC provide three equal exposures with a small angular separation of 10".

 Astronomical Observations - Parts 1, 2, 3, 4
This is where Carte du Ciel or SkyMap comes in handy, since they depict the stars and planets graphically, and include millions more objects and dozens of unabridged catalogues for the astronomer.
Carte du Ciel is especially useful for animating these apparent synodic motions against the background of the stars, since you can fine-tune increments down to days, hours and minutes, and mark the locations with "finder circles" to readily observe a planet's motion relative to the stars & constellation figures, and to the other planets.
Hence Orion's Belt, for example, is very close to the same position in the sky as it was when they built the Great Pyramids 10,500 BC, since the three stars of the belt have very low proper motion.

This work was an outstanding contribution to mathematical astronomy coming quickly after the publication of the second volume of Delaunay's work on lunar theory La Théorie du mouvement de la lune which had been published in 1867.
When he arrived to take up the post of director work was being undertaken at the Observatory on the Catalogue photographique de la carte du ciel (the Photographic Catalogue of the Map of the Sky).

We used common stars of TYCHO program and 4M catalog in the fields 2 x 2 degrees (3 x 3 in some cases) centered in open clusters and calculated median differences of their proper motions, found in TYCHO and 4M catalogs.
