Average Rating: 
Rating:  - If only it was bigger or smaller
This is a good field guide at the telescope. I like the layout and the information contained within it. Spiral bound is a plus, allowing you to lay it flat and not loose pages after a few weeks. However, I know it's a pocket book but its not! It's a little to big to be a pocket book and to small for easy identification of stellar targets. The size is just wrong! Bigger and it would be awesome, smaller and it would be very handy, as it is I use an old 1970s Patrick Moore book that is pocket size.
Rating:  - To the constellations and beyond!
If you are new to astronomy and maybe have a pair of binoculars or a low-powered telescope, or even just your eyes, and want to learn the constellations, then your best bet is really to download Stellarium and get yourself a handheld planisphere for carrying around.

Rating: - An outstanding value
The authors of this guide did almost everything right.

Most importantly, the charts are extremely well designed and clear. They are arranged in an order that makes a lot of sense, and ... Read More
Rating: - Limited Astronomy Knowledge
I an new to Astronomy and have been studying every chance I get. I bought this atlas to help me find objects to view. Considering my limited knowledge of Astronomy and what books are out there, this atlas is going to be a valuable tool for me.
Rating: - I Love It!
To All
I've only had this atlas for a month and all I can say is I love it! I find the Pocket Sky Atlas an excellent value for its price. The only thing I would have liked to see is ALL the Carbon "(c)" stars labeled with identifying names. Other then that this atlas will make an excellent addition to my library.
