Seem to have heaps now.
Sky and Telescopes Pocket Atlas is excellent, but hasnt info on hte targets.
I still us one I bought about 20 years ago - 'Observing the Constellations' by John Sanford. Great info and charts. I find myself going back to it all the time.
Liz, Observing the Constellations'
that's the book I cut my teeth on using my 8"SCT when I brought it back from the USA
It is a great book
