    Sample map: mouse over feature numbers for details
    All maps are labelled. 151 maps for each hemisphere. Directional labels, indicating adjacent maps. Stars down to magnitude 9.5 Large areas of nebulosity are outlined, as is the Milky Way boundary. Grid lines divide the map by Right Ascension and Declination. In crowded areas, lines connect the label with the object symbol for easy reference. In some areas, separate charts magnify overcrowded areas. Only the brightest objects are labelled in dense regions, the remainder are labelled in the closeup view. See examples below. Objects clearly labelled with common names, if available. Constellation names. Constellation boundaries. Major stars are labelled with name and alphabet designation. Easy to read legend on all maps. Map scale.
