FREE mag 8.5 star atlas online

[aristarchus]

hi all,

 

Happy Christmas and clear skies for 2006!

 

I mentioned this before, but I think is worth highlighting again. Point your browser to Toshimi Taki's web site http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~zs3t-tk/atlas_85/atlas_85.htm and download a FREE magnitude 8.5 star atlas! The project was only just recently completed.

 

it's a stunning piece of work - with publication quality graphics - that covers the whole sky in 144 charts. Many deep sky objects are plotted too. There is also a document giving data on all the DSOs. The complete download is about 16.5Mb (in sections).

 

Toshimi also created a magnitude 6.5 atlas that you can download free.

 

atb,

 

John
