Would have been lost for a lot longer without it. A quick review of things with the print out from Skymaps, got me reoriented in short order. The sky had completely change from when I saw it last I was a bit disoriented. Due to weather, travel, and weather, it was about a month and a half since I had been out. The printout is a good alternative until I get around to getting theВ Planisphere as it is helpful as the seasons change and a new part of the sky is shown to me. Currently I print out the monthly sky map from here, but it gets soggy and blows around. But the charts are a bit lacking.ДЄlthough I don't have one yet, I really recommend aВ Planisphere. It is a nice reference to see what things will look like in the eyepiece, and it has a lot of good information throughout. I also have Left Turn at Orion as it came highly recommended when I got back into this last December. I am also trying to learn to star hop with the PSA and wire circles to represent the FOV of my finder and Telrad (they have a nice scale in the margin to set that up) I prefer to browse the paper maps as the fixed zoom level helps me put things in perspective. These are really great astronomy books and get my highest recommendation for anyone to have as a comprehensive resource for most things astronomy.Д®dited by Eddgie, 13 November 2018 - 08:06 AM.ДЄlthough I use Sky Safari 6 at the scope, I also really like the Jumbo Pocket Sky Atlas to plan. I even used to make my observing reports directly in the books! They became my observing logs.

These have constellation charts that are useful enough for actually locating objects but are not as detailed as something like Sky Atlas, but at the same time, these books contain thousands of actual user observations using different sizes of telescopes so if you want to know if you should waste your time looking for a object, you can use the written observations for a scope to assist you in choosing interesting targets. Rather than compliment this with a paper chart, I highly recommend the books Night Sky Observer's Guide Volume One and Volume 2.

A license will let you run it on a phone and a tablet so you can use the phone out at night and the tablet to plan. The best of the phone/tablet apps is Sky Safari Pro. If you stumble across a defective copy, the easiest way to fix it is to print out the corresponding PDFs, cut tiny rectangles to cover the defects, and tape them on with invisible mending tape.I know you want paper, but the raw utility of phone or tablet apps makes them (in my own opinion) a far more practical choice. In the first printing of the Pocket Sky Atlas, two small pieces of Corona Borealis and BoГ¶tes were missing from Chart 55, and a few galaxies were missing from Chart C, the closeup of the Virgo Galaxy Cluster.

In the printed atlas, even-odd chart pairs are on facing pages. If you like what you see, click here to purchase the Pocket Sky Atlas from our online store.
