Sky Map 7
English Sky Map 7 is a collection of 26 printable sky charts with a magnitude limit of 7.0, complete with tables of peculiar stars and deep sky objects.
Specifications of the 26 sky charts Every maps are drawn to be printed in A3 format paper. They have 2 sides:
  • a front side with the main map, complete with legend and bibliography;
  • a back side with a list of deep sky objects that are shown in the map, a close-up map of a small area of particular interest, and a cover.
Last 4 papers The last 4 papers have a list of Double and Variable star plotted in all the maps, a map of the OB associations and a map of the Milky Way galaxy.

  • Magnitude limit for globular clusters: ~9.0
  • Magnitude limit for planetary nebulae: 11.0
  • Magnitude limit for bright nebulae: ~9.0
  • Magnitude limit for galaxies: 11.0.
Number of double stars 216
