Star Charts
Even with the AutoStar 30,000 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 AutoStar Suite
™
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.
