The Deep Sky Travel Atlas is a unique tool designed for use at night under the starry sky. Its practical format makes it easy to transport and provides a clear overview. The robust, water-repellent finish means that 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 chart page is accompanied by a comprehensive data page directly opposite. Here, amateur astronomers 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").
