R.A.S.C. Calgary Centre PO Box 22099 Calgary RPO Bankers Hall Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 4J5 About the Publication The Index to Astronomy Magazine's ATLAS of the STARS was created to augment the Atlas which was published by Kalmbach Publishing Co. The 41 page Index was independently created by close examination of every object identified on all 24 double page maps in the Atlas then combining all the results into complete indices. Additionally, the author created 2 pages of maps show the overlapping relationships of all the Atlas maps in the Northern and Southern hemispheres of the sky. A page of "Errata" was also added as part of the process. If you find other mistakes in the Atlas I would be interested in noting them in the Errata section. You can send comments to:  The Index is most useful when inserted into 3-ring plastic sheet protectors and combined with the Atlas for field use.
