Goldbach's Himmels-Atlas zum Gebrauche sur Schul- unde Akademischen Unterricht,  published in Weimar 1799, is one of the most innovative works of the period.  It is one of the earliest sets of star charts to show the stars printed on a black (night) sky.

As noted on the Osher Library Website:

Goldbach was a professor of astronomy in Moscow and a member of the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. His most notable atlas, designed for the use of amateurs and beginners, is an almost exact copy of the 1782 Bode Flamsteed, with two striking differences. The most obvious is that Goldbach’s star maps are white on a black background, which was achieved by printing the engraved plates in relief rather than in intaglio. The second modification is a matching plate provided on the facing page with the constellation figures omitted. While Goldbach’s atlas was not the first showing white stars against a dark background, it was the first of this kind to attract the attention of astronomical circles in Paris.
