Subject: understanding celestial charts for scale and cataloging

Can any Maps-L subscribers recommend a good website (or book!) that would
help me understand better the interpretation of celestial charts? In
particular, I want to understand better the concept of angular scale, and
the possibility of approximating a chart's angular scale if it's not
specified. I need to learn more about this as part of adapting
Cartographic Materials rules for the manual on Descriptive Cataloging of
Rare Materials (Cartographic), and I have not actually cataloged any
celestial charts myself. Are there any catalogers out there who are
experienced at AACR2/MARC cataloging of celestial charts?
