Product Description

Product Description
Sky Atlas 2000.0 in its second edition offers nearly 90,000 stars, with all positions derived from the Hipparcos database, the most accurate survey ever undertaken. In this Field Version, the 29 charts show stars and deep-sky objects in white on a black background. The map area is 460 x 330 mm (18 by 13 inches). The charts are printed on heavy paper with a rigid clear plastic, and for ease of use they are unbound and boxed. In this format the Atlas will be indispensable as an aid to telescope users who prefer maps which come as close as possible to the view through the telescope. The lamination allows felt tip or wax markers to be used. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for beginers and advanced users, 19 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Sky Atlas 2000.0 2ed Deluxe Edition: Twenty-six Star Charts, Covering Both Hemispheres, and Seven Detailed Charts of Selected Regions (Spiral-bound)
This atlas builds on the Cambridge Star Atlas 2000, now in its second edition. The format is a good deal larger and has bifold maps going down to mag +8.5. There are many deep sky objects also identified in the maps. This atlas does lack some of the detailed information provided in the Atlas 2000, in particular the tables that support each map.I have found though that these two maps compliment each other nicely. One question for suppliers, why are the other editions of this atlas not advertised. I'm talking about the laminated field editions etc. The Deluxe edition is not an Atlas to take out on a cold damp night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, 2 Jun 2004
By A. Horner "Andrew Horner" (Erskine, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Sky Atlas 2000.0 2ed Deluxe Edition: Twenty-six Star Charts, Covering Both Hemispheres, and Seven Detailed Charts of Selected Regions (Spiral-bound)
I just love Wil Tirion’s work. If I wasn’t interested in astronomy I’d buy this just to have it on the coffee table sitting around for visitor’s to see. It’s worth every penny and will get lots of use. As I’ve progressed over the years from casually standing at the back door gazing at the stars, to setting up my telescope in the back garden, I’ve felt the need to plan ahead and organise my evenings, even if only because the weather in Scotland is so bad most of the time. The atlas is an excellent aid to planning and as a reference for those objects ‘discovered’ at the scope. I love it and I recommend this purchase to anyone with more than a passing interest.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful for the true observer, 27 Nov 1999
This review is from: Sky Atlas 2000.0 2ed Field Edition (Map)
As the name suggests, this is a Sky Atlas! Its main purpose is to help observers find there way around the night sky, so don't buy it if you're looking for a lot of text....you'll be disappointed.

Excellent quality, and I know now that I'll use it a lot. I bought the unbound, unlaminated edition, so the 'book' is infact 30 A3 sheets of heavy paper. They'll need some kind of protective cover or envelope to keep them in.

A good purchase, but not for the beginner.
