good book with telrad charts

Ive just purchased my telrad on ebay and am eagerly awaiting its arrival, but before that happens, i also require a sky atlas/map/ book / thing that has maps of the sky, or at least the interesting portions of it, that are designed to be used with a telrad. thanks guys for any recommendations

I don't think there is such a thing as a 'Telrad Star Chart/Atlas'! Your Telrad will just let you hone in on objects more accurately, with better eye relief. The kind of chart I think you might want is a good black on white atlas. The Telrad itself is basically a zero magnification finder, and you will really only use it with naked eye (or limit of) objects.

I stand corrected actually, as from memory, the best known publication is the infamous Sky Atlas 2000 field atlas, which has the Telrad circles for quick reference on its pages.

:oops:

Sky and Telescope Pocket Atlas has Telrad circles for quick reference also. It's also only about 15 quid I think. I don't leave home without it.

There's a review of it here.

It only goes down to Mag 7.5 or so but this was more than enough for me (too many stars in Atlas 2000 for my experience level )

Seanie, how is it infamous ?
As for telrad charts, standard sky maps/atlas will do the job.
