mikey32shaw Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hi all, thought this was the best place to ask this question. I have searched Google and SGL but must be doing something wrong. I was wanting to print and laminate my own sky atlas. Which ones would people recommend for using with my tel rad finder and any chance of a few links ;-) Also what do people sue as a template for using the telrad over the maps?Many ThanksMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainmadman Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hi there,I had a similar question not so long ago in a different thread. I got loads of really good answers with links to similar places.http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/194921-star-atlas/Hope this helps, MMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmadman Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I neglected to say, I've made a couple of Telrad circles just using a red OHP pen on some acetate sheets we had kicking about the office in work. They do the trick, especially with my copy of the Sky and Telescope pocket atlas which I bought as a result of feedback in the thread.

Wyvern Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hi,Take a look at this link http://www.uv.es/jrtorres/ and at the TriAtlas project. Crank up the printer, have the black ink replacement cartridges at hand and cut down a few trees for the paper. Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teleskopjo Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Actually I prefer this one instead of Tri Atlashttp://www.deepskywatch.com/deep-sky-hunter-atlas.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggywrinkle Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 http://www.geocities.jp/toshimi_taki/ Try Taki's, excellent atlas.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyvern Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Thanks baggywrinkle,or at least my printer thanks you for the exercise. Hadn't come across Taki's atlas, but the 8.5LM is an excellent choice and should be a useful addition at the observatory. Ta.Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
