Telrad Atlas?

[kirkster501]

Is there such a beast please? An atlas with Telrad overlay?

Kind regards, Steve

If you have Cartes du Ceil (freeware) you can put Telrad circles onto it (as many as you want) and print them off for yourself. Easy to do and really useful!

(You can also get it to print black dots/lines on white - makes life easier)

I'm sure there is, however on Cartes Du ciel you can overlay a telrad crosshair on top.

I print off my own charts this way. Exactly the same as other charts and you can centre it, zoom in however you like.

Just my 2 pennies worth.

Hello,

Cloudynights has some usefull maps http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/1572221/page/0/view/collapsed/sb/5/o/all/fpart/1

personally I use Luminos on my ipad which you can add telrad circles. You can also add your own eyepieces & scope to get a view of what you should see in the reticle depeding on what eyepiece you use

There's a Telrad overlay included in the 'Ocular' Plug-In in Stellarium. http://www.stellarium.org/wiki/index.php/Ocular_plugin#Telrad_Finder

For a hard copy atlas the "Sky Atlas 2000.0" includes an acetate overlay with Telrad circles printed on it . . . http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3507235-sky-atlas-2000-0-deluxe

Not my work, I found them as individual pages on another site and combined them into 1 pdf

You don't need a Telrad atlas. Just use any atlas and get a piece of clear acetate. Set a compass to describe a 4 degree circle at the scale of the chart (use the Dec gridlines) and then mark the same circle on the acetate sheet. This shows the Telrad outer circle FOV. You can mark the inner ones if you like, too.

The nice SkyAtlas2000 (Wil Tirion) comes with such a transparency.

It's been bugging me as to where I found the charts so that I could give due recognition. I found them here:

MC2 telescope shop in Frome sell telrad charts in ring binder notebook size books, expensive though. I downloaded some off the Internet and printed them off, just google telrad charts.

i now use the telrad option on star walk on my ipad, easier than messing about with paper and a torch.

Don't print them off in colour like i did the red telrad circles won't show up under a red torch :-(

i used a clear piece of plastic and ties with string to use with my pocket atlas, works great. i made the mistake of useing a red marker first off .

Now that's a good point I never thought of that, I've downloaded the maps so might print off a few later so I can do some manual star hopping when we get a clear night of course.
