Thanks for pointing out the missing southern hemisphere... I hadn't noticed that at all - Beginners mistake.
I shall more thoroughly investigate the beginner's sticky.

The first atlas would be very good for a very big telescope, or as a reference, for when using a smaller atlas with a smaller telescope and, for example, you can't really tell which galaxy is which in the eyepiece.
Unfortunately, the second atlas - which would be great for an 8" telescope - only goes down to 58degrees south.
There are plenty of other downloadable atlases listed in the Beginner's sticky section to choose from.
However, while I have downloaded and printed the ultra comprehensive JR's Atlases, I still stick to my Sky Atlas 2000 for my 8" telescope and Herald Bobroff AstroAtlas for my 14.5", both of which I shrank to A4 size and put in plastic display folders.
