Magellanic Cloud Atlases

Produced by Mati Morel, the chief uranographer for the VSS RASNZ, these atlases depict the entire Large and Small Magellanic Clouds down to 14th magnitude; with dozens of nebulae, hundreds of variables and thousands of comparison star magnitudes shown. Additional charts for selected areas go to 16th magnitude.

These atlases are a must-have if you're seriously observing anything in the Clouds!
