I'm giving you +1 rep comrade purely for your sig quotation - I have not the faintest idea what your post meant but hey, keep the Red Flag flying anyway.
This would be much better placed in this thread.... By far and large the largest thread in these forums... https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=227901
Thanks both of you! I posted in the correct thread, I dropped you both rep thanks
And may the red flag always fly! O7

I believe there are three different levels of possibility for reading this star chart:
1: "Nano" scale: The central barnacle represents the center of the galaxy and each spikes represent an important system of the chart. This could mean several different charts.
2: "Micro" scale: The chart is made of the barnacles around a planet. This has the issue of finding a reference point and needing to make sure we found them all. This could mean several different charts.
3: "Macro" scale: The chart is made of the systems containing barnacles. Each system containing barnacles is a dot on the chart and their positioning is relative to each other. This would mean a central chart.
I find the number 3 possibility the most likely.
