Pocket Sky Atlas

Book • 2016
The Pocket Sky Atlas is a compact and user-friendly star atlas designed for amateur astronomers observing at the telescope.

It features detailed star charts with clearly marked celestial objects, including stars, galaxies, nebulae, and clusters, plotted on a convenient scale.

Created as a field companion to larger, more comprehensive atlases, it allows observers to quickly locate and identify objects in the night sky.

The atlas includes helpful information such as object types, magnitudes, and coordinates, all presented in an easy-to-read format suitable for use with a red flashlight.

Its durable construction and portability make it an essential tool for stargazing sessions, whether at home or at dark sky locations.
