My aim is to publish 3 complete sky atlasses, each with different limiting magnitudes and scaling. All maps are made with StarMapStudio using its object databases and projection methods.

  • 6m5 stars with Bayer labeling
  • Messier and Caldwell objects
  • 5 mm per degree / 4 or 3 mm per degree for big constellations.

9m0 star atlas : maps for 8x50 finding scope

  • 9m0 stars with Flamsteed labeling
  • Saguaro / NGC objects up to 12m0
  • 10 mm per degree

11m0 star atlas : maps for 102/500 RFT

  • 11m0  stars with Flamsteed labeling
