Review:
"The concept of this atlas is exciting in that colour photographs of the sky are shown opposite a same scale chart prepared from a black on white enlargement from the same slide. Thus every object identified is clearly seen in relation to the surrounding field. To this is added a description by Patrick Moore of all the objects of interest which are featured. What else could any amateur ask for when wanting to pinpoint specific objects? . . . Well worth reading thoroughly. . . Paul Doherty's charts are delightfully clear and nowhere do they seem cluttered or confusing. The designations and labels do not detract from the ability to make easy comparisons with the opposing photographs. . . There are many hours of amusement ahead for any amateur who takes the trouble to work through this book systematically." Cliff Turk in MNASSA Vol. 58, Nos. 7 and 8 ncept of this atlas is exciting in that colour photographs of the sky are shown opposite a same scale chart prepared from a black on white enlargement from the same slide.
