Although true most atlas' make excellent Mexican-coffee table books <rib
rib, Hi Jamie! vbg> I carry a Field Guide to the Stars in the truck at all
times. You just never know! However mine is an older copy with Black and
White charts. A newer version I have on my desk is white and with colored in
objects. The red galaxies DISAPPEAR under red light. :)
Oh and Jamie my man! I carry a SA2000 laminated edition under the front seat
of the truck. Just in case someone forgets theirs (or I fergit the 'puter
<g>), I let them borrow mine! :)
And if you take them out of the binding, they make really interesting
placemats at full moon parties! "Pardon me, but is that pate' on my
Pleiades?"
They are really quite versatile! LOL!
BTW: (Is it TAC-AL renewal time... they still send me two Reflectors each
month...)
