How to Start

Get the "tutorial" quest

Go to Pisa and talk to the NPC Galileo. You will get the quest to complete the Ursa minor charting.

Star charting procedure

Go to Journal > Star Atlas.

Select Ursa minor (or other if possible) and click "research".

Complete actions (investigation entries) until completion rate reaches 100%.

Observing Specific Stars: When a specific star is designated as the investigation target, complete the action by observing it.

Investigation entries are similiar to sea charting: Tasks in red are mandatory, the white ones are optional and blues are the ones you have already completed.

A constellation is considered fully investigated once the Completion Rate reaches 100%.
