![]() All of the Messier, Caldwell, and Herschel 400 objects are plotted and identified. Open clusters, globular clusters, galaxies, bright nebulas, dark nebulas, and emission nebulas are also color-coded, and are drawn to scale if they measure over 20 arc minutes in size. The color-coding shows double stars, variable stars, and special objects. ![]() Some 1,500 deep-sky objects are included, color-coded by type (including 675 galaxies to magnitude 11.5 shown oriented as they are in the sky). The stars are individually sized in ten one-magnitude steps according to their relative brightness. The 80 charts in this second printing contain more than 30,000 black stars on a white background to magnitude 7.6. Thanks to its compact size, convenient spiral-bound lay-flat design, and easy-to read labels, there has never been such a wonderfully detailed star atlas so handy to take on trips and use at the telescope or with binoculars. Now Sky and Telescope has raised the bar with this new Pocket Sky Atlas. The Sky and Telescope celestial atlases (such as the famed Tirion Atlas 2000.0 series) are the standard by which all other star charts have been judged for a half century. iOptron 20% Off Sale While Supplies Last.Various Used and Demo Scopes and Mounts.Astro-Tech AT60ED and AT72EDII Black Friday Sale.Various Closeouts Meade, Kendrick, Bob's Knobs, JMI and others.Astronomics Used, Demo, Closeout, Spring Cleaning Page. ![]()
