Hi all, I'm a beginner and was wondering if I should purchase a star
atlas or a software program like Starry night. I have several beginner
type astronomy books but none really have detailed star maps. I would
like to begin to practice star hopping to objects. I figure with the
software I can just print out maps and customize them to my needs. Plus
all the other features of the software would be helpful to. Is there
any advantage to having a atlas in book form?
Thanks

I got Starry Night software with my telescope, but I recently switched
to Stellarium, which is much easier to use. I also had some crashing
issues with Starry Night which I eventually resolved. Stellarium opens
quickly, and I haven't had any problems with it crashing. You can
download it at http://www.stellarium.org/
