Star Atlas

Hi there,
Could anyone out there recomend a good Star Atlas. I have being using a Plainisphere for the last year and want to progress.

A beginner cant go wrong with this one:

If you want something more substantial, I highly recommend Sky Atlas 2000 by Wil Tirion.

Also if you search this board you will find a post by John Flannery (skynotes) who refers to a freeware star atlas which can be downloaded and printed. (sorry dont have time to go digging for it now). Just use the search for a post by skynotes including the word 'atlas' and you should find it.

The links to the free star atlases can be found here at the bottom of the page
