Description: Perfect for beginners and experienced stargazers alike, Sky & Telescope’s Pocket Sky Atlas – Jumbo Edition will be your favorite celestial reference! Sky & Telescope’s celestial atlases are the standard by which all other star atlases have been judged for more than half a century. Our Pocket Sky Atlas – Jumbo Edition is one of our favorites. This wonderfully detailed atlas is particularly handy to take on trips and use at the telescope, thanks to its larger size, convenient wire-bound design, and easy-to-read labels. To help you find your way, the charts show both constellation boundaries and stick figures. By popular request, two special new lists are included in this second edition. One is a table of the atlas's 53 stars of unusual reddish hue (also known as carbon stars), and the charts where they are found. The other is a list of 24 nearby stars, with their distances in light-years and the charts showing their locations. All can easily be spotted in small telescopes. THIS ATLAS FEATURES: 80 charts with 10 close-up chartsMore than 30,000 stars individually sized according to their relative brightness1,500 deep-sky objects color-coded by type, including 675 galaxies oriented as they are in the skyLabels legible even in dim lightFits in a daypack or briefcase, so you need never leave home without itIncludes nearest stars and carbon starsThe Pocket Sky Atlas, Jumbo edition is 9 1/4 inches wide X 12 inches tall.The regular and Jumbo versions of the Pocket Sky Atlas are identical in content.
