Why we like it
- 80 charts with 30,796 stars — deep enough for a telescope
- Pocket-size, dews up less than big atlases
- The standard reference every observer recognizes
Keep in mind
- Print is small — bring a red flashlight and readers
- Pages stick together in heavy dew
- Jumbo edition exists if the pocket print is too small
