Perfect for me December 13, 2008
I've been thrilled with this little atlas because it is small, attractive, easy-to-use, and includes just enough detail.br /br /I did a Messier marathon last year under a dark sky (Figueroa Mountain, CA) and found over 90 objects with my binoculars (12x60) using only my list and this atlas for reference. I was astonished that I could see objects dimmer than 10.0 magnitude in my binoculars, but this atlas made it so much easier.br /br /I planned to sleep through most of the Virgo cluster, but I kept finding more and more objects that I hadn't expected to be able to see! When you know exactly where an object is in relation to neighboring stars, it will often appear when using averted vision and the binoculars are moving slightly. I even found a couple 11th-mag galaxies! This atlas made it possible - great buy.br /

Must have!!!! December 12, 2008
I absolutely love this Sky Atlas! It is by far one of the best astronomical purchases I have made. Naturally after using it for a little bit, you start to memorize which part of the sky is on which page and it becomes even easier to use. Very easy to use under red light and it even displays the Greek Alphabet letters associated with each star (ex. Beta Orionis). Even if you have no observing equipment yet, this will help you learn the sky better than any of those huge books. It's so small you can just turn the book to orient the page with the position of the constellation your looking at. From a fairly seasoned Observer, I highly recommend it!

Really good for intermediates. You need to know the constellations to make this useful.

Pocket Sky Atlas October 13, 2008
Sky Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas has a unique and easy to use layout. The small size of the book makes it excellent to carry along on stargazing outings. It has helped me greatly

The best star atlas - period October 2, 2008
I wasn't sure what this atlas would be like. I mean, how many stars could you pack into a "pocket atlas". The answer - a lot. This atlas, in fact, does a very good job at putting most of the important stars and deep sky objects found in the 2000 sky atlas. The thing that impressed me the most, however, was the layout and organization of the book. After struggling for years with trying to find the right page or chart to see a particular portion of the sky, this atlas makes that job easy. It's opened up an whole world of casual sky browsing. Of all the atlases and guides I own (about 10), I like this the most.
