Harald Bobroff Astro-Atlas

[John Pierce]

I have a copy of the Herald-Bobroff Astro-Atlas,  long out of print.   Its only ever been lightly used.

I'm never going to use it again so it would be nice to get it the hands of someone who would.

here's a detailed review

anyways, I'm wondering if its worth something to anyone ?   I do need to find it again, but I know its here somewhere.   I'm pretty sure this is an original printing from Australia in the mid 90s.   Its printed on this incredibly resilient waterproof paper and wire bound.

I would love to have it! I still like using paper atlases, so it'd definitely get used...

ok,   I'll dig through my stuff here and find it again and get back to you.   

This atlas was close to $100 back in the mid 90s, and has been out of print at least 20 years.

I use one of those, it is quite useful, though not as good as the (much bulkier, more expensive and rarer) Millennium Star Atlas.

I have one, too. Really fun design, with sets of charts progressively going deeper.

And the one set of charts with magnitudes for the brighter stars printed right alongside them.

Those Aussies were crazy in good ways.

[Andrew Pierce]

I like the charts at the beginning that show where the various types of objects fall against the Milky Way and so on.  You can see graphically where all the clusters are for example.
