Review: A wealth of information in a 143 page atlas. - Without doubt, this is one of the best purchases I've made in recent memory. The "Astrophotography Sky Atlas" contains a wealth of information in a single volume; I can only begin to imagine the amount of time and effort that went into its production. An especially unique and helpful feature of this atlas is its plotting of objects in differently shaded colors to represent their respective brightness as photographic targets. In addition to the usual Messier, NGC and IC objects, the atlas plots the Sharpless, RCW, vdB and Abell catalogs of emission and reflection nebulae, as well as a selection of dark nebulae and supernova remnants. The Object Index is very detailed and cross-referenced and includes object type, location, size, alternate names in other catalogs, ideal dates for viewing, etc. This is a "must have" for those new to astrophotography, as it contains all of the most important information needed for selecting and locating targets, and it will certainly be of value to the experienced astrophotographer as well. I write very few reviews of my purchases; however, this is one I felt compelled to write given the value of this atlas.
Review: Indispensable for Night Vision Astronomy - Recently I discovered the magic of night vision astronomy. Under my heavily light-polluted suburban sky, this is a game changer. With a gen3 night vision device coupled with either long-pass or narrow-band filters, the night sky is literally full of wonders! You will see DSO's, especially emission nebulae, that you'd have never dreamed of seeing visually (well, NV is not exactly "visual", but quite close). This is where the Astrophotography Sky Atlas really shines. While traditional star maps (including the venerable SkyAtlas 2000 or Interstellarum) will mark more DSO's than you ever need, they usually don't show how BIG they really are. This atlas draws nebulae to scale, with correct shape, and even with different shadings to indicate brightness (although a little subjective). Included are the full Sharpless catalog, full Abell catalog, and many more. You will rediscover the familiar star fields all over again. Currently I don't do astrophotography. But it's usefulness for imaging DSO's is obvious. My only complaint is that the paper are not dew resistant. In fact, they are somewhat water absorbent. After two short sessions in humid weather, the pages already felt damp. Hope this can be improved in the future editions, even if that means a bigger price tag. After all, for people who are willing to invest in AP or NV, this is a small price to pay for a tremendous treasure!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Indispensible guide for selecting deep sky objects to image
*by A***R on November 13, 2018*

I mislaid my first copy of this book and missed it so much I bought another. The book is an extremely comprehensive guide to deep sky images that sorts the easiest and most spectacular to the less interesting. With a narrow window among the trees in my backyard this book is very useful to identify targets of interest, especially when used in tandem with a planetarium programme. It is well produced and easy to read in the field and has a very exhaustive index, really more of a catalogue of deep sky objects in both northern and southern hemispheres.
