This Astronomical Atlas features conventional star and galaxy maps, along
with spectacular three-dimensional stereographs. These 3-D images are
viewed with the red/green spectacles provided with the book, to show the
stars and galaxies in three-dimensional space. This book contains three
sets of comprehensive full-sky maps and 3-D stereographs. They cover local
space, regional space, (the naked-eye stars) and distant space (with more
than 20,000 galaxies). All the stereographs have been derived from the
most accurate data available, including the results produced by the
Hipparcos satellite. They can be used to directly measure approximate
distances of the objects they show, as well as for viewing in 3-D. The
distant space maps represent probably the most complete mappings of the
galaxies available to amateur astronomers, and their accompanying
three-dimensional views provide tantalising glimpses of structure at the
largest scale of the universe.
