Book Reviews of Sky Atlas 2000.0, 2nd Deluxe Edition

Book Review: Excellent value for beginers and advanced users
Summary: 5 Stars

This atlas builds on the Cambridge Star Atlas 2000, now in its second edition. The format is a good deal larger and has bifold maps going down to mag +8.5. There are many deep sky objects also identified in the maps. This atlas does lack some of the detailed information provided in the Atlas 2000, in particular the tables that support each map.I have found though that these two maps compliment each other nicely. One question for suppliers, why are the other editions of this atlas not advertised. I'm talking about the laminated field editions etc. The Deluxe edition is not an Atlas to take out on a cold damp night.
