Taki's star atlas

I've been using Taki's 6.5 and 8.5 magnitude atlases. They can be downloaded from his web site. he's a Japanese amateur who produced these IMO very good online atlases. You download them as a PDF. Start with the 6.5. Each map in the 6.5 series covers a wide swathe of sky so it's easy to see recognizable objects then move on to the other later which has a much bigger scale so each map only covers a smaller area of sky.
