Perfect for Intermediates
| Customer Rating: | | Really good for intermediates. You need to know the constellations to make this useful. |
Pocket Sky Atlas
| Customer Rating: | | 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
| Customer Rating: | | 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. |
Confusing!
| Customer Rating:  | | I purchased this book based on all the positive reviews. I thought it would be good for a beginner stargazer like me. This book is very confusing. Page after page of dots connected. I'm not sure where to look in the sky, what the constellations are, when to look. Help!! Maybe when I get better at finding constellations I will appreciate this book more, but in the meantime it has me puzzled. |
If only it was bigger or smaller
| Customer Rating: | | This is a good field guide at the telescope. I like the layout and the information contained within it. Spiral bound is a plus, allowing you to lay it flat and not loose pages after a few weeks. However, I know it's a pocket book but its not! It's a little to big to be a pocket book and to small for easy identification of stellar targets. The size is just wrong! Bigger and it would be awesome, smaller and it would be very handy, as it is I use an old 1970s Patrick Moore book that is pocket size. |
