which edition has errors?
      #1958977 - 11/03/07 06:22 PM

When S&T published the Pocket Sky Atlas in 2006, there were parts missing from charts 55 and C. The copy I bought today, the 2nd edition, is the same as the corrected PDF files from S&Ts website. With the second edition, do I have a corrected printing or am I missing something?

Charles, I remember a thread here somewhere saying the 2nd edition fixed errors in the first. Don't think you are missing anything. It is a fine and useful atlas at the scope.

I own a copy with the errors. There is enough overlap between charts that it hasn't really caused me any trouble.
