Tirion's Sky Atlas 2000.0 is an excellent atlas and highly recommended for beginners to intermediate. I have used the original colour deluxe version with stars to mag. 8.0 for many years and it is still the atlas I take outside most often. (The second edition has stars to mag. 8.5). If I need a few more stars I use Uranometria. I do not use electronic maps at the telescope since even in red light night mode they are still too bright ruining any chance of seeing anything faint.
