Wildwood Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It has stars down to Mag 12 and all the DSOs you are likely to need to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizibilder Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Try this one: Taki's Home Page or if you want something a little more detailed (actually a LOT more detailed): JR's website on Deep Sky Astronomy Either can be printed off at home. I laminated the first one just as a guide and only print pages from the Tri-Atlas if I need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
