Interesting how our usages vary.

I own Pocket Sky Atlas, Sky Atlas 2000, Uranometria, Herald Bobroff, Millennium and have printed out all of TriAtlas on A3. But I still use Bright Star Atlas a lot, both here and in Italy.

At the end of the day, it plots in the maps, and describes in the adjacent lists, the biggest and best objects in the sky for each category of DSO.
