Sky Atlas 2000 -mistakes??
Earlier this year I bought a new field copy of Sky Atlas 2000 (second edition) to replace the dog eared original edition I had. There are some real improvements and additions, but last night I finally turned to map 23, and noticed something odd. Small oblongs appear next to many of the 3rd to 6th magnitude stars. These oblongs, according to the key are bright nebula. This oblong symbol is only used on chart 23, on other charts small bright nebula are squares. I am convinced these nebula do not exist. Their position is too co-incidental with star positions. Additionally chart 23 has NGC numbers in upright Roman font, whereas all other charts are sloped.
Has anyone else noticed these faults, are they mentioned elsewhere??
Have I got a dud copy of Sky Atlas?
