Tweedledee Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Just received Interstellarum Deep Sky Atlas from Amazon today. These Germans have done a very thorough job. It is the best atlas I've had. DSO's are shown from just about every catalog there is, and most of them are visible in a 12" scope from a dark site. It shows stars down to mag 9.5 and has a great image scale, about 1.5 cm per degree. Rigel to Betelgeuse spans 30 cm. I reckon it is well worth the money. Have a look at the web site and my photo's attached. Zoom in and see the detail better... http://www.deepskyatlas.com/ Edited January 30, 2015 by Tweedledee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 It's very comprehensive, and not too technical or cluttered to put you off. Ideal for armchair planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
