If it feels like an Alberti Cipher it is one!

Stellar, pleeeeease realize that this cipher has just the same problem as your previous one. It allows for so much freedom that YOU entirely decide what a page will be about. This is not how it works at all.

Many of the constellations you include above are modern ones. For example:

"Camelopardalis You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. or the Giraffe You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is a large, faint grouping of stars in the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. The constellation was introduced in 1612 (or 1613) by You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.."

And then when I tell you this is impossible, you just shrug it off and look for some other word that fits. This is not how reading a text works. The text tells the reader what it's about, not the other way around. 

If enough people told you the Voynich is about the American Civil War, your cipher would allow you to make it about the civil war. Do you see how this is highly problematic?
