5.0 out of 5 stars Uranometria has 2 editions, July 11, 2007

This review is from: The Deep Sky Field Guide to Uranometria 2000.0 (Hardcover)
Make sure you are getting Edition 2 and not 1. The ads don't seem to be distinguishing them. Ed 2 is superior of course, and was published in 2001, Ed 1 was published 1993 to 1996.

You also have to decide if you want more deep sky objects or more stars. The Millennium Star Atlas would be a better choice if you want to more closely match the star field you see to help identify the objects. Uranometria has far more objects but a good portion of those may be extraneous and may actually get in the way of what you are seeking. Millennium has plenty of DSOs actually and more stars to help identify the objects you are looking for.

Ed 2 includes two progressive finder atlases to help zero in on where you want to go, because it is easy to get lost when looking at just a 2-page spread.
