Orion DeepMap 600

Featuring the 600 Best Objects for Telescopes and Binoculars. Printed on Plastic.

Orion proudly introduces the first-ever star chart that folds up like a road map! DeepMap 600 shows the positions of what we consider the 600 finest celestial objects visible from the Northern Hemisphere. All are plotted on a giant 32" x 18" full-color star chart by world-renowned star-mapper Wil Tirion and printed on plastic so it does not fall apart in the dew! DeepMap 600 was designed for easy location of hundreds of deep-sky objects with telescopes and binoculars. Color-coded symbols identify more than 500 galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters - including all 109 Messier objects - as well as some 100 of the most interesting double and variable stars. No other single star chart includes so many objects! The large rectangular map covers the sky from declination +70° to -60°. On the back side is a map of the northern circumpo]ar region as well as a listing of essential data for each of the 600 plotted objects, including coordinates, apparent magnitude, angular size, and even a brief visual description. Helpful text offers tips on using DeepMap, general observing hints, and more. What makes DeepMap 600 really indispensable is that it folds up "accordion style" to a thin, pocket-size 4-3/4" x 10-1/2" - just like a road map! No longer must you fumble with bulky books, star atlases, and observing references to find interesting objects to view. The quick-reference DeepMap 600 is all you need.
