There are a couple of (minor) errors but nothing to detract from it.

There is a new set that is labelled Panorama and is somewhat between A & B I think, perhaps a bit closer to the B set and takes care of some of the clutter than can occur around the Carina region (for example).
Hello Coen and thanks for the info

I haven't look at JR's website for a while and wasn't aware that there was a sort of crossover atlas. I must admit the C atlas is a bit of a monster. Will investigate!!
