Atlases & Charts
The Star Atlas CompanionFollowing a few pages of finder charts, each constellation is presented alphabetically and includes notes about selected naked-eye stars in the constellation. Diagrams show the constellations as seen from Earth, together with "side views" (to show the distances to each star). Additional diagrams show how the constellation will look from Earth in AD 27,000. Information such as the apparent and absolute magnitudes of the stars are included.
The Cambridge Star Atlas by 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.
