Hi Jowel,

I have a set of Star Charts (also comes with a cd of the maps) by Wil Tirion. It is 18 separate laminated charts which I have in a plastic sleeve book.

I have also photocopied all of the sheets and have put them together on my passage wall as a large map. Whenever I find something new in my telescope I mark it on the wall map with a highlighter. It's fun adding new discoveries after an observing session and gratifying to see more and more highlighted objects.
I know there are lots of great star atlases, but I don't have any as yet, so someone else will have to chip in about them.
Bintel have a selection worth checking out in their book section...https://www.bintelshop.com.au/welcome.htm

Hope this helps,
Molly.
