I use Sky Atlas 2000.0 at the scope. I removed the spiral binding and only take the ones I need for that session. I do occasionally use Uranometria 2000 depending on how deep I am going. Mark

Stephan. Looks like you had a good night of observing. Read with interest the report on IC 4593 and NGC 6210. I am a fan of PNe.

I use the Farpoint 650nm laser collimator. Easy to use and accurate
