Indispensable,
By A Customer
This review is from: Collins Gem - Stars (Paperback)
Excellent reference, even for more seasoned astronomers (so I'm told). Concise, clear maps, as expected from Wil Tirion who also created the charts for Star Atlas 2000.The basic layout is perfect, with seasonal maps of the celestial sphere, followed by sections and maps for each individual constellation and descriptions of their points of interest (Messier objects, etc.) Lastly, it fits in your top pocket and is dirt cheap. What more could you want?

Amazing little book,
By Ryan "Phisci" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Collins Gem - Stars (Paperback)
Essentially a high quality sky atlas in a small but highly readable format, including a listing and short discussion of the objects that are interesting in each of the 88 constellations.
Highly recommended!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazingly good for a shirt-pocket Star Atlas.,
By Coticbane - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Collins Gem - Stars (Paperback)
This little "gem" is often overlooked by serious astronomers, but its small format (8cm x 11.5cm) gives you a star atlas in your shirt pocket! Separate chart for each constellation, down to mag 5. Lots of DSOs, including the Messiers, are marked. Recommended!
