We raised the bar again with our Pocket Sky Atlas: the print version is the handiest detailed atlas around, easy to take on trips and use at the telescope thanks to its compact size, convenient spiral-bound design, and easy-to-read labels.
(IC) of 1895 and 1908. We omit the prefix NGC throughout. When an object has no M, NGC, or IC number, some other designation is given. For open star clusters, a frequent prefix is Cr (Collinder), Tr (Trumpler), or Mel (Melotte). Many bright nebulae have the prefix Ced (Cederblad), vdB (van den Bergh), or Sh2 (Sharpless). Dark nebulae often have an LDN (Lynds) or B (Barnard) number. In the case of planetary nebulae, PK means Perek-Kohoutek. While numbers from Patrick Moore's popular Caldwell
Orion Nebula. Visual comet hunters traditionally avoid the Virgo Galaxy Cluster, shown in Chart C, where many galaxies masquerade as comet suspects. With the help of this chart, however, the brightest of these galaxies can be identified. Chart D, the Large Magellan ic Cloud, shows only a handful of the deep-sky objects that can be seen in small telescopes within this satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way. General Index F nebulae, and other. A constellation index appears on page xii. Bold
