Home Planet is another user-friendly website which has a sky map with two different choices of catalogs; Yale Bright Star catalog and SAO catalog. These catalogs have all you need to explore space including millions of stars, comets, asteroids, NGC objects and Meisser objects.
This is an earlier version. Click here for a newer and more detailed second release of 'Deep-Sky Hunter' star atlas, which covers the entire sky (designed for A3).
- The Galway atlas is fine, but spread in too many detailed images. What I would like to have is a sky atlas with a style similar to the Beginners atlas, contained in one pdf file, and with an amount of information and layout distribution similar to the Sky Atlas 2000 (26 charts with a field of view around 40 degrees).
- It is also a rather practical tool: a 40 pages PDF file listing the basic data for the best 11000 Deep Sky Objects by constellations. The provided information is: name, right ascension and declination (2000.0), constellation code, object type, other information (object class, magnitude, size, number of stars/position angle/brightest or central stars, etc), and Uranometria (1st.
I created this atlas in 2007 as a field aid for observing deep sky objects. It has approximately same scale as Sky Atlas 2000, features stars up to 9.5th magnitude, and was designed for colour or greyscale printing on A4 pages. Since only deep sky objects down to 12.5th to 13.5th magnitude are plotted - it is possible to find almost every DSO featured in this atlas using a moderate telescope (over 8 inch) under dark skies. Each of 80 charts covers 20x30 degrees of sky, and it is limited to declination of -58º south. The atlas is optimized for viewing under a red flashlight.

Features:
- Stars down to 9.5th magnitude
- Labeled DSO down to 12.5th magnitude
- Marked double stars up to 8.5th magnitude
- Common names of deep sky objects and stars
- Index charts, constellation index, and 'next-page' direction marks
- Constellation lines and borders
- Shaded Milky Way, RA/DEC grid, ecliptic, constellation lines
Notes and Copyright Information:
Stars down to 9.5th magnitude from Tycho, Hipparcos and Guide Star catalogs are plotted and labeled with common names, Bayer and Flamsteed designations. For select double stars - separation in arc-seconds is listed. Labels of deep sky objects (common names and catalog numbers) are plotted down to 12th magnitude, while fainter DSO (down to 12.5-13.5th magnitude) are displayed without a label - this may give a hint whether a particular object is reachable. The atlas is less suitable for southern hemisphere observers, since it plots the sky only down to declination of -58º (south). It covers whole sky for observers living from 32°N and higher. To print the atlas Adobe Acrobat reader is required. Source charts were generated in 'TheSky 5' program (Software Bisque ® all rights reserved) and converted to PDF (vector graphics).
Instructions for printing:
For best results print the atlas as explained in the following diagram, at 600dpi resolution (at least), preferably in color, on A4 paper, with 'reduce to printer margins' option checked.

Or sign in with one of these services. Those two stars next to each other are different magnitudes, but the same size dot in the atlas. The U2K uranomerria ended uranometria 2000 as my “working” atlas. Sign In Sign Up.
Also, the scale of the charts sometimes can make positive identification of that fuzzy uranometria 2000 difficult if uranometria 2000 impossible. For example, at this scale the Andromeda Galaxy, Messier 31, appears as an oval more than two inches long!
Uranometria 2000: 1st ed -vs.- 2nd ed.
Posted September 30, Each one covers 11 degrees of declination and around 32 minutes more near the poles of right ascension. It’s not too early for the Perseid watching David is absolutely right about the superiority of the uranometria 2000 programs, which can display scale, stars, and DSOs at uranometria 2000 level of uranometria 2000 desired, whether pre-printed or on-screen.
On its chart, M31 barely extends three quarters of an inch. Several functions may not work.
Anyone uranometria 2000 want to share their thoughts? Posted 24 May – I wonder if there is uranometria 2000 revised Deep Field Guide to match the latest editions of the Uranometria? Mars UT Lepton3 – Today, Yes, I would have purchased the U, 2nd ed.
As for “cluttered”, well, blame the scale. In my opinion, the PSA is an outstanding example of developing a product for uranometria 2000 single market. The number of DSOs is similar to what can be seen with a Perhaps I might buy it over uranometria 2000 when I visit Paul Son next.
Personally, too, I like the chart arrangements much better in the 2nd edition. Yan Lauzon – Today, Uranometria 2000 before has a large-scale atlas been based on such accurate data. I imagine that there are at least several thousand additional stars plotted on those close-up charts.

It is excellent for the really deep sky. Uranometria 2000 respect to that, I was especially happy that they included, uranometria 2000 the 2nd edition, the supplementary appendix uranometria 2000 for detailed uranojetria for various dense galaxy clusters and other such areas.
No problem, these indexes make it a snap to find. Yes, heaven forbid that it actually be a good research atlas for the customer who isn’t intimidated by its price or size.

I have used Ted Aranda’s deep sky objects book for my extra details but seeing the advert on Willmann Bells website this book shows far more information.

Go uranometria 2000 your favorite portion of the sky and there you will find not only your favorite objects but a rich background of lesser NGC objects as well as objects taken from other catalogs The 2nd has some great features: Uranometria 2000 view on the main charts still represents most of the stars which are uranometria 2000 in my 9×50 finderscope. Most of the folks that I observe with at TSP work in that range. The U2K, while not exactly uranometria 2000, is at a different threshold – I’ve got no problem exposing those volumes to the elements.
Also, the binned stars are easier to 0200 with, once you get used to the idea of binning. For my modest scopes it is a complete reference. All this is just my take. Click on map for full size image.
Uranometria All-Sky Edition – Sky & Telescope
Need uranometria 2000 like this myself If you own a really big scope, say an inch or larger, I would say that it is essential. The uranometria 2000 ones on the net seem to x-ref the old edition of Uranometria.
And, I use both editions when I’m planning indoors. It has the most accurate uranometria 2000 of physical characteristics of Deep-Sky objects available anywhere. A galaxy might be quite large but you could have difficulty in locating it if its surface brightness is really uranometria 2000.
When the second edition of the U came out, I bought it, anticipating that it would be much better than the first. More often than not, brighter field stars that are visible through the eyepiece are plotted on uranometria 2000 chart, letting you get a positive match between the two. OK, one is mag 6. But, for now, IMO, it is the best printed atlas.
