Celestron Sky Map

#1

Post by Unitron48 »


I found this 1972 Edition Celestron Sky Maps at our local library's used book store and bought it for $2! It has the original price sticker ($19.95) from Godec's Photo Shop. All pages were as originally laminated and in mint condition. It has a built-in planisphere and four pages of information (star charts, double and variable stars, and DSO's) for each of the four seasons.

Nice edition to my reference library!

Just checked and Godec's Photo Supply still exists in Colorado Springs, CO! I wonder where this book has been since 1972...and who used it!!
