TriAtlas Star Chart -- Bound and sale for CHEAP!


I've been looking for a 'deeper' sky atlas that's both inexpensive and easy to use.  While there are many fine star charts out there, they all seem to be either out of print, hard bound, or entirely more expensive than I'd like. 

I stumbled upon Jose Torres' TriAtlas, Sections A and B Second Edition on Lulu.com.  It's 134 pages, spiral bound for easy use, and contains both A and B sections of this wonderful atlas.

Section A is 25 charts of 9th Magnitude stars and Deep Sky Objects, with a visual index to find the right page.

Section B is similar to Uranometria 2000, and has 107 charts of 11th Magnitude stars and Deep Sky Objects. There's also a visual index.

Both A and B sections have pointers back and forth between each other, as well as to the much larger Section C (not included due to size), so you can easily switch between the charts to look at as much or as little information as you'd like.

If you're like me, and looking for an excellent, yet inexpensive set of deep charts, I'd recommend these. As a bonus, they're also currently on sale for 25% off
