Thanks for your clarification Rick. I still *heart* Urano, but I see your points made. Something glairingly obvious on both however [and I dont see why they werent taken from SKY ATLAS 2000] are black pages with white stars. Considering that whenever you go to an atlas with a red led that it'd be eye-smart to have black pages and white stars to help preserve visual dark adaption, I dont see why they didnt follow in step with SKY CAT 2000.

Thanks for your input, but I'm still bent on my Urano and ofcourse its Deepsky Field Guide. Incidentaly I supplement it with SKY CAT 2000 by Sinnot/Hirshfeld Vol. 2
