Hans, thanks for the response.
My atlas is the laminated white on black background so no colours.
The small oblongs appearing next to stars are a similar size to the squares indicated on the other charts for nebula less than 10'
I take it you have the coloured edition, and it does not have these peculiarities on map 23?
The upright font used for NGC numbers, runs the digits so close together in some cases that it is hard to read the number.
I bought this atlas at the Bintel stand at the SPSP, so will call them if nothing else turns up on the forum.
