The Cambridge Star Atlas
This classic star atlas is ideal for both beginning astronomers and more experienced observers worldwide. The clear, full-color maps show stars, clusters and galaxies visible with binoculars or a small telescope. The atlas also features constellation boundaries and the Milky Way, and lists objects that are interesting to observe.
The fourth edition features a clearer map of the Moon's surface, showing craters and features, a second Moon map, mirror reversed for users of telescopes with star diagonals, enhanced index charts showing the constellations more clearly and a new data table listing stars hosting planetary systems. It is now spiral bound, making it ideal for use at the telescope.
