Sky & Telescope’s celestial atlases are the standard by which all other star
atlases have been judged for a half century. Now we've raised the bar with our
new Pocket Sky Atlas. There has never been such a wonderfully detailed atlas
so handy to take on trips and use at the telescope, thanks to its compact size,
convenient spiral-bound design, and easy-to-read labels. The charts show both
constellation boundaries and stick figures to help you find your way.
