About this title

Synopsis

A pocket-sized star atlas that fits in your kit and expands your night-sky reach.

This compact atlas presents twelve circular maps designed for the library, the school, and the observatory, intended as a companion to Webb's Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes. It pairs accessible maps with a clear, beginner-friendly introduction to the study of the stars.

The maps are sized for easy handling and include overlaps so you can see a large swath of the sky at once. Distortion is reduced for better fidelity, and lines are simplified to help new learners identify star positions quickly. A novel system shows precession with arrows over latitude parallels, so you can grasp how stellar positions shift over time without complex measurements.

What you’ll experience

A set of twelve circular maps that cover a tenth of the heavens each, with careful labeling to aid quick identification.
A letterpress introduction that helps beginners compare the maps with the real sky.
Extensive star lists and a rich selection of objects drawn from Webb’s work plus hundreds of additional items for observation.
Practical guidance on using the atlas alongside other classic star catalogs and guides.

Ideal for astronomy students, amateur observers, and anyone building a reliable, portable star toolkit.
