The Herald-Bobroff AstroAtlas

World famous astrophotographer, David Malin says of the Herald-Bobroff AstroAtlas:

"The major part of the work is the 94-chart series that shows all stars to magnitude 9 or brighter. On these charts are marked galaxies, clusters and nebulae in a way that will be fairly familiar. There are also marked areas that are subsequently redrawn on a larger scale to include more detail .... On these selective charts are marked even smaller parts of the sky where yet greater scales might be advantageous, including the Large Magellanic Cloud and Virgo cluster of galaxies, and here stars are plotted to much fainter limiting magnitudes.

Finally they produce a series of four charts of the Large Magellanic Cloud itself that satisfy a long-felt need amongst cloud watchers, the first street map of our nearest galactic neighbour. This includes the Shapley-Lindsay clusters and the Henize emission nebulae as well as the more familiar NGC objects.

Like most astronomical and terrestrial charts, the landmarks are represented by a series of symbols, but the symbols in the Herald-Bobroff charts contain more information than the usual black blobs of stars and sketchy outlines of nebulae. ... The authors are to be commended on compressing so much useful information into so small a space. No nocturnal navigator can afford to go exploring without a set of these charts."

The Herald-Bobroff AstroAtlas is the creation of David Herald and Peter Bobroff. Beautifully spiral bound and printed on moisture resistant A3 (12" x 16") paper, this stunning series of 214 charts covers the whole sky at 6 different scales allowing you to zoom in (see M85 at right) on particularly rich areas of sky and is a must for every serious observer.

The Herald-Bobroff AstroAtlas uses a concise but rich method of chart labelling to maximise the information presented.
