Hi,
Beginner question here...
I am using Skyspot Telrad charts right now to learn to find objects in the sky. I am learning Messier objects, double stars, and I also have the Skypot book on "Bright Objects".
I find myself spending a lot of time just flipping through the indexies of the different books so the I can find out what is out there to be found in any given constellation.
It would be really helpful if I had one compact chart which would "at a glance" let me know which objects are in the area of sky I am looking at. From there I could always pull up the more specific charts.
Something like the laminated planisphere I have would be great, however the one I have shows the constellations but only about 6 of the brightest Messier objects.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Glenn
