An incredible set of twenty-six 13" by 18" star charts, with the position of over 43,000 stars recorded.

Stellar magnitudes are represented by ten dot sizes, double & triple stars are represented by lines extending from the sides of the dot or by individual dots if they are separated by over 0.1 arc-minute, variable stars have concentric dots represeting their maximum & minimum magnitude range, and deep-space objects (nebula, clusters, other galaxies) are each given discrete symbols.

The constellations are identified and given individual boundaries, as is the Milky Way Galaxy itself.

A stunning graphic acheivement; my ambition is to someday find a way to cover the ceiling of my library with them, each in the proper orientation!

I found them discarded and about to be tossed in a dumpster!

This is a great format of a reliable, beautiful atlas. Large, manipulable and weather-proof.
