features
It's big. It's usable. It's informative.
This is the return of the Herald-Bobroff Astroatlas! We think this is one of the best sky atlases available. But don't just take our word for it — see the May 2004 review, including photos, by Philip Harrington, author of Star Ware News. The following is an excerpt from his review:
"For $80, you get effectively three star atlases as well as a schematic observing guide of the entire sky in one indestructable volume. Best of all, it will grow with you as you grow in observing skill."
The Atlas contains 214 charts divided into 6 series. Each series
presents the sky at a different scale and limiting magnitude. The atlas has 11" x 16" pages, folds easily, and lies flat. The
most striking features are the way the atlas "zooms in" to show congested areas in fine detail and the incredible wealth of
information encoded in its well thought-out symbol set. It's like a whole library in one atlas!
