    Nice work on this. I chuckled at 'Felis Catus'

    As for old paper, I know people have aged their paper with coffee or tea. I've seen some threads about this, so maybe a search will turn up something. Not sure how that would work with a dark background though, unless your other map is quite different from this one.

    Here's an update with border, title, and all the constellation signs visible.

    Thanks for the coffe / tea sugestion! I'm probably going to invert the colors for the printed version, so that trick might work I'm also thinking about fading the chart to an inverted color scheem ingame once all the levels are completed..

    There's some issues with details in the border etc, but I'm quite happy with the overall composition. What do you think?

    That print looks amazing!

    As for making the paper feel old, you could try to make the paper moist using tea or coffee or any solvent (as previously mentioned) and then slightly damaging the paper by hand.
