"Hydra" is one of the celestial charts featured in "A Celestial Atlas" by the Scottish cartographer Alexander Jamieson, first published in 1822. The atlas comprises a collection of detailed star charts and astronomical illustrations, reflecting the knowledge and artistic interpretation of the night sky during the early 19th century. The chart "Hydra" specifically depicts the constellation Hydra, the largest of the 88 modern constellations, sprawling across the celestial sphere.

In Jamieson's atlas, the constellation Hydra is represented as the mythological water serpent, with its stars meticulously plotted according to their astronomical positions. The atlas, a blend of scientific cartography and classical mythology, was designed to serve both as an educational tool for amateur astronomers and as a work of art. Jamieson's work was influenced by earlier celestial cartographers such as Johann Bode and John Flamsteed, and it aimed to improve upon and update their representations based on the astronomical observations and discoveries of the time.

The "Hydra" chart, like others in the atlas, is notable for its detailed engravings and the inclusion of neighboring constellations, star clusters, and other celestial objects of interest. Jamieson's dedication to accuracy and aesthetics made "A Celestial Atlas" a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of the period and a historical artifact of astronomical art in the present day.
