Star Charts

Even with the AutoStar II's massive 145,000 object library, star charts and planispheres are still useful for a variety of reasons. In particular, they are a great aid in planning a night of celestial viewing.

A wide variety of star charts are available in books, in magazines, on the inter- net and on CD Roms. Meade offers Epoch 2000sk™ and other star locator software. Contact your Meade dealer or Meade's Customer Service depart- ment for more information.

Astronomy and Sky and Telescope magazines print star charts each month for up-to-the-minute maps of the heavens.

	scope at or near the Sun. Do not look through the telescope as it is moving.
