Thank you Callum,Your advice is very much appreciated.work out or preferably measure your field of views for your wide field eyepieces – then construct rings or make acetates for your Sky Atlas 2000. These can help when you narrow down to the vicinity of the object your looking for. You can do the same for your own printed maps, but try to print these out at the same scale.I have one of these already, so all I have to do now is work out the fov of my 24mm Panoptic and 10" f4.8
