Love GCs? I know I do.
This TFC includes all of the globular clusters known to be in the Milky Way (currently 151). It turns that over half of these are in 3 constellations Ophiuchus, Sagittarius, and Scorpius. There are multiple charts of these constellations so the the finder targets do not get too busy on any one chart. Because of their location, Summer and Fall provide the prime time to catch large numbers of GCs in your scope during an evening. This creates the possibility of a GC Marathon if you want to give it a shot!
The descriptions provided on the chart are in the NGC abbreviated format. Since that can be difficult to decipher, the translation is provide on the outside back cover of the TFC so you can put a finger in the page and check to see what an abbreviation says.
Expect to be able to find about 120 in an 8", 130 in a 10", 140 in a 16 inch. The last few are reserved for the BIG dobs and may require up to a 36" and favorably dark skies. Go Deeper, See More!!! Like the "Best" 300, it comes with a 2 page check-off list of objects.
The TFC is completely laminated and costs $37 $4 US shipping. We will ship to Canada for the same shipping as the US!
All of our TFCs have these features:
The TFC version works with the Telrad finder (4:2:0.5 degree rings) and the Rigel finder (2:0.5 degree rings) by using the inner two rings on the chart.
All are completely laminated for moisture protection
Appropriate table of contents/index to make finding constellations and objects easy. They are designed to be well organized and easy to use.
Each comes with a check-off list for the objects in the book.
The catalog names are retained and cross referenced with the NGC designation. The tables give enough information to be sure you correctly identify it when you see it.
Check out our Alignment Star Charts for GoTo/PushTo telescopes and our specialty Star Charts such as the Meteor Radiant Chart or the Limiting Visual Magnitude Chart. These can be bound into the TFC book of your choice at the time of purchase for no extra charge!
