33. Starting Out Right, By Rob Lentini reviews of other atlases and star maps used by colored figures will obscure the starpositions in you re impressing neophyte visitors with your skywatching. http://www.novac.com/nl/96/starting.html

Starting Out Right Choose a Good Star Atlas Rob Lentini When the gift of a telescope got me started in astronomy, it took me very little time to realize I was lost amongst the stars. I was fortunate enough to begin with a copy of Turn Left At Orion , a guide to worthwhile targets for small telescopes that doesn't require that you know stars and constellations. As the brighter stars became familiar sights, a Rand McNally Star Finder was a nice complement to the book, allowing me to investigate how the constellations were arranged across the sky. Mine shows stars down to 4th and 5th magnitude. At some point I realized I was ready for a star atlas. Finding all of the Messier objects would require a fairly good one. Wil Tirion has had a hand in publishing a variety of popular atlases, including The Bright Star Atlas The Cambridge Star Atlas Uranometria 2000.0 , and Sky Atlas 2000.0 Just a side note: There was some discussion on the NOVAC listserv about the plural of atlas. Atli or Atlases or Atles? Someone found a reference to the plural of Atlas being Atlantes. Atlas was the name of a Titan who was condemned to hold the sky on his shoulders for all eternity (the ancient Greek answer to why the sky doesn't fall). Greek architects occasionally used sculpted male figures in place of columns for support, and the Latin plural of Atlas is Atlantes. So you could say, "Look at those anatomically correct Atlantes holding up that entablature!" Female figures used for the same purpose are caryatids, by the way. However, if we're just talking about a collection of maps, www.dictionary.com indicates the plural is simply atlases.

NightWatch, by Terence Dickinson. 3rd Edition. ISBN: ISBN: 1552093026. Although I have dozens and dozens of astronomy books, there are those "golden" works that belong on every stargazer's bookshelf — whether you're a beginner just thinking about getting started or you're an old pro itching to pass along your passion to the new kids. Nightwatch is one of the "golden ones" of my collection. The latest edition (third) is spiral bound to make it easier to lay out flat while you're out in the field. What I like best about the book are its clear explanations about telescopes and binoculars, coupled with easy-to-use star charts. Highly recommended! Exploring the Night Sky with Binoculars, by David Chandler. ISBN: 189193810X. 1995, David Chandler. The Astronomical Companion, by Guy Ottewell. ISBN 0934546487. This is a really fine way to look at the sky — that is, as a sphere of space surrounding us. This book is really a series of three-dimensional star maps that take the reader farther out from home, reminiscent of the "powers of 10" approach. It's a great book, and I highly recommend it. Amazon.com says it's out of print and unavailable, but they do list people who are selling new and used copies — check 'em out! Ottewell also publishes an Astronomical Calendar each year. It's chock-full of the year's astronomical events and happenings and features Guy Ottewell's unique approach to mapping. The new one should be available from Skyandtelescope.com in late 2003, and probably on Amazon.com some time thereafter.
