LX200-ACF TIPS
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
internet and on CD Roms. Meade offers Epoch 2000sk
and other star
locator software. Contact your Meade dealer or Meade’s Customer Service
department for more information.
Astronomy
and
Sky and Telescope
magazines print star charts each month
for up-to-the-minute maps of the heavens.
