I am the owner of Celestron C6 SCT. I was wondering if anyone has used this atlas, and would they recomend it. I do find it a bit annoying trying to orientate myself with with my Rukl atlas and this scope. Is the detail as fine as the Rukl, better or coarser?
I found an atlas that puts orientation in its eyepiece perspective (thou I use a dob) ... ill try and find the link. I'll post the link when I find it.
reviews on cloudynights say the Hatfield atlas is good thou for sct owners
Thanks Matt. Downloaded map with correct orientation onto my tablet. Easy to use, with good resolution. The floor of Plato shows at least 5 craterlets. Thats about as good as it gets here.
Found an app in google play store called Lunar Map HD. It costs 99 cents. You can download other maps which have higher resolution than the one whice comes with the original download. You can also select orientation for different scopes, including SCTs. Great app.
I downloaded it, seems pretty decent. for some reason I only have the zoom buttons and no way to access settings on my HTC one xl to change orientation or get higher res maps. maybe ill contact the dev to see how to.
for anyone interested .. here's a 1:1000000 scale moon map. I don't have WiFi atm so I havnt downloaded them all but the one I have looked at seems decent enough
