I, too, hope a publisher can be found. The atlas still needs much work, but as soon as someone commits to getting it out there, I'll be back on it. Thanks for expressing an interest.

I neglected to answer your earlier tought bubble. How much larger than the MSA would SkyGX be? Twice as big, pretty much in all categories. Six volumes as opposed to MSA's 3 (but there's also a 7th index volume), 2 million stars instead of 1 mil, etc., etc. But SkyGX is several magnitudes more inclusive in deep-sky than MSA. MSA was designed to be an exposition of the Hipparcos catalog, thus primarily stellar in focus. Not a DSO compendium. SkyGX goes there much better.

Someday....
