Celestron Sky atlas

Discover the night sky of the northern hemisphere with Celestron Sky Maps! This classic collection of seasonal star charts, complemented by a glow-in-the-dark star finder or planisphere, has been popular for many years. Both beginners and experienced amateur astronomers appreciate this book as it provides almost everything they need to quickly locate constellations and effortlessly dive into the seasonal treasures of the night sky.

The cover of this publication is often used. It is a planisphere—a rotating star wheel that can be aligned to any date and time (past, present, and future), displaying the night sky for that period. When the star finder is exposed to light beforehand, all the major stars glow in the dark, mimicking how they actually appear in the night sky.

Inside, you'll find a collection of more detailed star charts for each of the four seasons. The charts are clear and concise, allowing you to locate objects in the sky with your binoculars or telescope. An illustrated reference section provides information on various types of objects. Celestron Sky Maps are made from 13-1/4 inch x 11-1/4 inch waterproof, durable cardboard for years of enjoyment and use. A spiral plastic comb keeps the pages securely together and allows them to lie completely flat for field use.
