For over 30 years, the "atlas for sky observers" has been a reliable companion for anyone who wants to discover the night sky with curiosity and passion.
It shows the northern and southern skies in all their diversity on 50 star charts. Each double page combines a precise star chart with clear descriptions and enlarged finding charts that make it easy to locate star clusters, gas nebulae and galaxies.
With current position data for 750 stars, 250 double stars and 80 variables, the atlas provides reliable information until the year 2060.
Fascinating photos of 500 of the most beautiful deep-sky objects allow a direct comparison between image and observation.
The special colour scheme ensures that the charts remain clear in daylight and can be read optimally in red light – making it easy to find your way around the sky even in the deepest night.
A great reference work and a practical companion for many hours under the night sky.
