Uranometria 2000.0 Deep Sky Atlas Pdf Free

I think it's still the overall best atlas available. There has been some published (and are gone again) that went deeper, but the Uranometria has the most complete coverage of all classes of visible deep-sky objects. The Great Atlas of the Sky by Piotr Brych goes FAR deeper on stars and galaxies, but omits all planetary nebulae not in the NGC/IC and there's a lot of those visible to modern amateur equipment.

The other thing that's really nice about this atlas is that you can get the companion book that has fairly detailed information about every plotted DSO in the atlas. I can highly recommend the Deep Sky Field Guide to Uranometria 2000.

Using the original Uranometria myself including the Deep Sky Field Guide to Uranometria 2000 supplement, i use also several open sources staratlas for more details when needed. Several can be print on paper.

Although not new anymore, the deepest skyatlas on paper and published i know, is millennium star atlas. It can be bought used for 500 euro at Amazon.de. On Amazon.com i see terrible prices: =1566184746

Millenium goes deeper for stars than Uranometria, 1 million stars to mag 11 vs 280,000 to mag 9.75. Uranometria has three times as many DSOs though at around 30,000. Millenium only has 10,000 DSOs which is a bit of a shame owing to the depth it goes to and its size.

The first edition is still an excellent atlas - well printed and detailed. One ot the best things about it is the excellent essay on the history of star maps called Uranography Yesterday and Today by George Lovi. Why they didn't include this in the second edition I'll never know.

For a 10" scope you would likely never exhaust the potential of this atlas and if the price is in the $20 range or so it's more than worth it as a collectable - especially with the included essay. Having said this though, the second edition and the all sky edition are better in many ways and I believe the cost is still around $60. That's a steal for this paper atlas.

Objects are indexed by Common Names, Star Names, Bayer Stars, Messier Objects, and NGC/IC Objects in the All Sky Edition and all 30,000+ non-stellar objects are indexed in the conpanion Deep Sky Field Guide. Know the name but not the position? No problem, these indexes make it a snap to find.Where did the name Uranometria come from?To the ancient Greeks, Urania was the Muse of the Heavens, and uranos was the word for the sky. In 1603, when Johann Bayer published his epochal atlas he named it Uranometria, and it became to celestial mapmaking what the Gutenberg Bible was to printing. For its era, Uranometria set an unprecedented and highly-advanced scientific, graphic and artistic standard for star charts. Nearly 400 years later, in 1987 Willmann-Bell published to universal world acclaim Uranometria 2000.0 which along with the advent of inexpensive modern telescopes revolutionized deep sky observing.During the 1990s Willmann-Bell began the process that has culminated in a greatly expanded second edition. Telescopes were getting bigger, amateurs were imaging the sky with super-sensitive CCD cameras, and a new deep-sky atlas was needed. The data upon which to build this atlas had to be better than anything on the shelf.Emil Bonanno created software to allow Willmann-Bell to visually inspect the position, size and orientation of deep sky objects against the Digitized Sky Survey and where necessary, correct and flawlessly record the data. Using Bonanno's software over a period of several years, Murray Cragin created a unified database of more than 30,000 deep sky objects. Even though Cragin started with the very best professional data available literally tens of thousands of corrections, large and small, were made. Never before has a large-scale atlas been based on such accurate data. Next, Will Remaklus and Wil Tirion took that data and created superb maps of unsurpassed accuracy and beauty. The result is that when you point your telescope to an Uranometria 2000.0 object, you can be assured it will be there, and at the size and orientation plotted.

I have the 2-volume atlas, have used it a lot, and have never felt the need to buy the additional guide volume. The atlases have an index of objects (so you know what's plotted), and object data can be found in many online sources. Buy the guide if you fancy it, but don't feel you have to.

As a committed Deep-Sky observer, I would say that the Deep-Sky Field Guide (I have the original 1993 edition) is the most used book I have. I would buy it again in a flash. It has the most accurate listings of physical characteristics of Deep-Sky objects available anywhere. Advanced deep-sky observers need this book. If you don't think that you do - then you probably don't, yet.

Yes there is. If chart 33 shows the Blinking Planetary in the top left hand corner of your single volume atlas then the corresponding guide book has ISBN 0943396735. For my modest scopes it is a complete reference.

John - that sounds a brilliant price. I have used Ted Aranda's 3000 deep sky objects book for my extra details but seeing the advert on Willmann Bells website this book shows far more information. Its annoying that the book is only $60 in the States. Perhaps I might buy it over there when I visit Paul (Son) next.

For visual work, with all but the largest scopes, Interstellarum is the only paper atlas in town... The Cambridge Star atlas is like a little budget version of Interstellarum and well worth the money.

I have the Uranometria series but hardly use them preferring the Interstellarum atlas. I take both the Interstellarum and the Sky and Telescope Pocket atlas in the field held in a large plastic box. I don't use a table but a large music stand.

I stopped using books in the field since I discovered sky safari but I still get my maps out often, including uranometria, to plan sessions and also I'll look up objects as I read about them and this helps to build my knowledge of whats where.

Serious observers know that the more they know about an object the better their observing experience. An atlas can give you postion, relative size and possibly a rough idea of its shape but that might not be enough to locate it.
