Also, I understand that stars with a horizontal line running through them are double stars, but what do the circles represent. I'm guessing they represent deep sky objects, but is there a distincion between galaxies, nebulae, clusters, etc.?
By the way, it's a great atlas, I've made a nice portfolio with it!
Thanks!  |
There's a second version, which is in full colour and contains different symbols for galaxies, nebulae, clusters etc. It also shows the milky way as a series of toned shading. It contains 21 charts and is available as an 18MB PDF file. Link
