Optimized the PDF file (12MB instead of 50MB).Added 'field edition' version (white text over black background).Added magnitude key at the top of each chart.A fix of numerous labeling, indexing, position errors.
The second revision (jun 2017) features the following updates: Here you can see a comparison with other atlases.īeginners and smaller telescope owners who find this atlas over cluttered - should check out my first release of deep-sky atlas ('TheSky' which is designed for A4). In terms of scale and amount of detail 'DeepSky Hunter' falls between Sky Atlas 2000 and Uranometria 2000.
The maps were designed for A3 pages, however some find it usable on A4 as well. The atlas also features 21 supplement 'zoom' charts of galaxy clusters and densly populated areas, and indications of over 500 'best' objects.
Manual post-editing was performed in order to ensure non-cluttered charts with readable labels. It features stars down to magnitude 10.2 and DSO down to magnitude 14 plotted on 101 A3 charts which cover the entire sky. 'Deep Sky hunter' is a printable deep sky atlas designed for serious deep sky observers.
