Good reference book  May 24, 2011

This is probably one of the better textbooks to have at your observing session and site. It makes your observing just that much easier. It has a complete sky atlas for every month, a very detailed atlas where it points out most of the objects in space. This classic star atlas is ideal for both beginning astronomers and more experienced observers worldwide. Great and easy to understand.

The Cambridge Star Atlas: 5 out of 5 stars based on 1 user reviews.

Summary

This classic star atlas is ideal for both beginning astronomers and more experienced observers worldwide. The clear, full-color maps show stars, clusters and galaxies visible with binoculars or a small telescope. The atlas also features constellation boundaries and the Milky Way, and lists objects that are interesting to observe. This new edition features a clearer map of the Moon's surface, showing craters and features; a second Moon map, mirror reversed for users of telescopes with star diagonals; enhanced index charts showing the constellations more clearly; and a new data table listing stars hosting planetary systems. It is now spiral bound, making it ideal for use at the telescope.

‘’This star atlas is among the best I have ever used.’’ -Alex Lovell, GNOMON

‘’... a painstakingly produced book ... literally opens up a galaxy of information.’’ -Reference Reviews
