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
