Northern and southern latitudes are included in a series of monthly sky charts and an atlas of the whole sky. Each of the 20 overlapping full color charts shows stars down to magnitude 6.5  together with about 900 nonstellar objects  such as clusters and galaxies  which can be seen with binoculars or a small telescope. This new edition features 52 color maps  improved versions of all the charts  and a thorough revision of the text and star data based on the latest information. In addition  there is a comprehensive double page map of the Moons surface  which shows craters and other named features. Clear  authoritative  and easy-to-use  The Cambridge Star Atlas is an ideal reference for sky watchers everywhere  throughout the year. Wil Tirion began his first star atlas as a hobby  mapping the whole sky on five maps. It was published in the Encyclopedia of Astronomy and soon after was released as a separate set of maps by the British Astronomical Association. In 1983  Tirion began working as a full-time uranographer  or sky cartographer. Since then  he has contributed to many books and magazines on astronomy. He lives in the Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279781716021,"sku":"ByrdShop_0521800846","price":64.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780521800846.jpg?v=1780610088","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-cambridge-star-atlas-9780521800846","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
