Wil Tirion's SKY ATLAS 2000.0 (Sky Publishing Corp.) is undoubtedly the most widely used of alI sky charts<br />
available on the market today. Until now, there was no single source containing detailed information about the<br />
deep-sky objects plotted on its 26 charts.<br />
All that has changed with SKY ATLAS 2000.0 COMPANION. It consists of a series of indexes which are<br />
designed to help the amateur astronomer get the most from Mr. Tirion's charts. lt will help answer questions<br />
such as "On which chart does NGC7789 appear?" lt will also help you answer the myriad of questions asked at<br />
star parties, like "How big is that Galaxy?" and "How far away is it?"<br />
The real beauty of SKY ATLAS 2000.0 COMPANION is its simplicity. Let's say you wanted to find the chart on<br />
which the Andromeda Galaxy is located. Just look up "Andromeda Galaxy" in the ALPHABETIC LISTING 0F<br />
OBJECTS (which begins on page 1 ) and you'll see the galaxy is located on Tirion sky charts 4 and 9. Many<br />
objects have multiple names: each is listed in the index. For example, you can find the Andromeda Galaxy by its<br />
name, Messier number (M31 ), or NGC number (NGC224). A wealth of information is also supplied, such as<br />
type, classification, R.A./ Dec. coor<strong>di</strong>nates, <strong>di</strong>mensions (in arc-minutes or arc-seconds), magnitude, and<br />
constellation. Other interesting facts (such as size, <strong>di</strong>stance, visual description, etc.) are also included. These<br />
are described in detail beginning on page "vii".<br />
In ad<strong>di</strong>tion to the main index, each chart has its own separate alphabetic index (beginning on page 185), giving<br />
you the ability to easily determine which objects are plotted on any chart.<br />
With SKY ATLAS 2000.0 and SKY ATLAS 2000.0 COMPANION, you really have an unbeatable combination.<br />
Now's the time to go outside and put them both to use!<br />
Good Luck and clear skies,<br />
Robert A.Strong<br />
