This is a downloadable set of star charts showing the night sky down to Magnitude 7.25 with double/multiple stars indicated by a thin horizontal bar. Plotted DSO's (Deep Sky Objects) include all objects on the Messier list, the RASC's finest NGC list, and the Herschell 400 list --- more than 550 DSO's in total. There are twenty primary charts and one supplemental chart (11a is specifically for the Virgo Coma Berenices region). These charts were created by Andrew L. Johnson and are licensed under a Creative Commons License, so you are free to download, use, and or distribute these star charts for non-commercial purposes with the appropriate attribution. The names below are in alpha-order, and there may be cross-over constellations. The naming is such that they sort of match the major constellations represented on each chart. |
