Sky & Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas

Available for just $39.95 from Paragon Media

Compact! Convenient! Colourful!

Take It Anywhere!

Sky & Telescope's celestial atlases are the standard by which all others have been judged for a half century. Now we've raised the bar with our new Pocket Sky Atlas! There has never been such a wonderfully detailed atlas so handy to take on trips and use at the telescope, thanks to its compact size, convenient spiral-bound design, and easy-to read labels.

The 80 charts contain more than 30,000 stars to magnitude 7.6 and some 1,500 deep-sky objects (including 675 galaxies to magnitude 11.5). The best double stars are named, and three dozen red (carbon) stars are marked. The charts show constellation boundaries and stick figures to help you find your way - the same figures as used in each issue of Australian Sky & Telescope. In the back are close-up charts of the Orion Nebula region, Pleiades, Virgo Galaxy Cluster, and Large Magellanic Cloud.
