Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Celestron Sky Maps
Customer Review: Have owned previous edition since early 1980's
Summary: 5 Stars
I have not seen the current revision of the Celestron Sky Maps, however I have owned a copy (copyrighted 1972) since the early 1980's. At the time I purchased it, I was a beginning amateur astronomer. I found it to be an invaluable tool. I also purchased a dobsonian telescope (no motors, no computers). The charts in Celestron Sky Maps were my primary guide for "star-hopping" to find deep-sky objects. I have found my copy to be accurate and very informative for a beginning astronomer. Again, I haven't seen an updated version, but I would be very surprised if anything has changed other than updating the planetary position chart. It would be a shame if the current copy was rewritten allowing typographical and statistical errors to get past the editing process.
As far as only being useful for northern latitudes, this is true. However, I do not see anywhere on this Amazon listing where there is a claim that it covers all latitudes. In today's global marketplace, concerning a product such as this, that information is practically essential to the buyer.
I would also recommend, "Universe Guide to Stars and Planets" by Wil Tirion. That hardcover book covers all constellations and has sky charts for both the northern and southern hemisphere. The maps and charts are smaller than those in the Celestron Sky Maps, but it has also served me very well as an excellent guide.
