Is it the one with the HUGE deluxe version by Wil Tirion? If it is, you can find it at Borders, Astronomy section, top shelf, it's quite hard to miss.

I prefer the deluxe version. It is available at Borders (1 copy left) at about $90.00 and at Astro Scientific (3 copies left) at $99.00 (10% discount for TASOS members). The desk and field versions (loose sheets) are also available at Astro Scientific.

yes, I saw the Wil Tirion version at Astro Scientific the other day. Not a bad one. Simpler and easier to use. I bought the Messier Guide, a Malaysian publication released in Mar this year only!

What's the difference between the 1st and 2nd edition?

Two of the revisions are that the 2nd edition shows some fainter stars and the galaxies are shown with proper inclination. However, the 1st edition is still very much usable.

Hi rlow,

Do you still have that 1st edition book? How is the condition of the book? My friend is in Singapore now and I want have it if you still have and still want to sell it.

Kindly let me know by return to my mail boothee@gmail.com. Looking forward to your reply!

Thanks,

If you don't want to bring the nice deluxe book to the field, you can print these maps for field use: The Mag-7 Star Atlas Project

I printed some of them on transparency film.
