I'm trying to name a series of work. I like the sound of the following name -- and I think it translates appropriately -- but would appreciate it if someone who speaks Italian can tell me how they would translate this back to English:
tabelle della stella
thanks,
Paul

I am not a fluent speaker but I would translate it as starchart but I wonder what a real italian would say. Would it be tabelle delle stelle (which would be more fun to say)? Or do they have a whole 'nuther word. Do you mean it to relate to astrology or astronomy because there might be a difference about that too...

Actually - startchart is exactly what I'm hoping it means...
Thanks

This is a translation site. When I put in the Italian to English I got table of the star. Turned around to star chart it came out to exactly what you wrote. I only know 2 Italian phrases, and they are the kind that can get a person in big trouble.

Thanks all. Karen (my much, much, much better half) put the italian phrase into google - and we got all kinds of astronomical stuff -- so its close enough
For the curious -- here's the work that is inspiring the name...

Very nice Paul.
Star Chart could also be written Stella Carta, but certainly doesn't have the alliteration of tabelle delle stelle.
