Apollo 11 Training-Used "LM-LO Star Chart" Directly from the John W. Young Collection, with Letter of Certification. A degree-divided 8.25" circular black chart, a pinhole at center, with white printing, titled "LM-LO/ STAR CHART (A)/ LAUNCH JULY 18/ 23 July 19:27:23.1 GMT". The Sun, Earth, Venus, and Saturn are portrayed by larger colored dots and several of the stars and constellations are named including "DNOCES" (actually Iota Ursae Majoris) and "NAVI" (actually Epsilon Cassiopeiae), two of the stars named for the crew of the ill-fated Apollo 1. Very fine.

Included with this lot is a Letter of Certification signed by Young's widow, Susy Young.

It has been a part of the John W. Young collection since that time."
