Recommend me a sky atlas!

Thanks umadog for your help. yes you are right. After re-reading my post I noticed that I put that Orion is Circumpolar. Doh. Don't know what I was thinking. Oh well. Thanks also for your other info. I thought that some of the info in the book related to the height (in degrees) in the sky of an object, but obviously everything is constantly changing in the sky as the earth rotates and the stars and planets move across the sky. Think I need to go back to basics a little and re-read some of my books. It is a rather difficult concept to get your head around, but once you have grasped it then should be a piece of cake hopefully.

Thanks again

Just have a play with Stellarium. Set the view to tonight in the UK then see how the view changes when you alter the latitude. Then try altering the longitude.

I am very impressed by this little atlas, very good value and detailed enough to keep me busy for a lifetime.
