'Deep Sky hunter' is a printable deep sky atlas designed for serious deep sky observers. It features stars down to magnitude 10.2 and DSO down to magnitude 14 plotted on 101 A3 charts which cover the entire sky. Manual post-editing was performed in order to ensure non-cluttered charts with readable labels. The atlas also features 21 supplement 'zoom' charts of galaxy clusters and densly populated areas, and indications of over 500 'best' objects.
It is also a rather practical tool: a 40 pages PDF file listing the basic data for the best 11000 Deep Sky Objects by constellations. The provided information is: name, right ascension and declination (2000.0), constellation code, object type, other information (object class, magnitude, size, number of stars/position angle/brightest or central stars, etc), and Uranometria (1st. The B-maps set is a standard-alone atlas, that reaches 11 mag with a linear scale similar to Sky Atlas 2000 but a detail level similar to Uranometria, although with more stars. This set together with the A-maps (the project index) constitute a perfect handy atlas to use in the field. The A maps are the index to B and C maps and show a selection.

The maps were designed for A3 pages, however some find it usable on A4 as well. In terms of scale and amount of detail 'DeepSky Hunter' falls between Sky Atlas 2000 and Uranometria 2000. Here you can see a comparison with other atlases.
Beginners and smaller telescope owners who find this atlas over cluttered - should check out my first release of deep-sky atlas ('TheSky' which is designed for A4).

Objects List and Best DSO Images:
A separate 35 page download of detailed deep sky objects list is also availabe, and it features list of ~7000 deep sky objects down to magnitude 14 from SAC database, which are roughly the same DSO which are plotted in this atlas. Objects without magnitude (i.e. dark nebulae) are also listed. The list is limited to declination -60°. Objects are sorted by catalog number, starting with Messier list, then NGC, IC and so on. 'Best' objects are marked in bold. Note that some inconsistencies might be present, due to different catalog designations which a specific object might have.
Additional download is a 20 page list of thumbnail images of ~700 best DSO. This list includes, among others, all objects which are indicated as 'best DSO' in this atlas with * (star) mark.

Printing Instructions:
For best results print this atlas on A3 pages, in black & white, portrait orientation, at 600 dpi resolution. Make sure that 'reduce to printer margins' option is checked. Cover should be the first page, then a spread of index1 and index2 followed by the rest. Or simply print the whole PDF document, starting with the cover page. If you choose to laminate the atlas - you may use a metal ring binder (see the following picture). To print the atlas Acrobat reader is required.

Notes and Copyright Information:
Compared to many other atlases - this release is much less cluttered with information which is often useless for deep sky observers (variable stars, extremely faint DSO, etc). Also the labels are well spaced and do not overlap with other labels and stars.
