It's the first-ever star chart that folds up like a road map! DeepMap 600 shows the positions of the 600 finest celestial objects visible from the Northern Hemisphere. All are plotted on a giant 33" x 21" full-color star chart by world-renowned star-mapper Wil Tirion.

DeepMap 600 is 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!

A Description of Every Object

The large rectangular map covers the sky from declination +70° to �60°. On the back side is a map of the northern circumpolar 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 600, general observing hints, and more.

Fits in Your Pocket!

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.
