The Deep Sky Travel Atlas is designed as a unique tool for night-time use under the starry sky. Its practical format makes it easy to transport and provides a clear overview. Thanks to its robust, water-repellent finish, the atlas is designed for long-term use alongside a telescope.
38 maps cover the entire sky on a uniform scale of 2° per centimetre. They contain more than 20,000 stars up to magnitude 7.5 and the 666 most rewarding star clusters, nebulae and galaxies for small terrestrial viewing scopes. In addition, over 300 objects are shown on special charts with a scale of 0.5° per centimetre and a limiting magnitude of 10m.0. The printed Telrad sighting circles are a valuable aid, enabling you to locate celestial objects reliably with a Telrad sighting device.
Each map page is directly opposite a comprehensive data page. Here, stargazers will find all the information they need to select their own objects. Numerous cross-references link the Deep Sky Travel Atlas to the Deep Sky Travel Guide, with which the content of this map book is coordinated (see "Recommended accessories").
Maximum practicality:
- colour coding of the different object types
- optimised for night-time use with red torches
- Practical ring binding, water-repellent surface
