Having them as PDFs sure is nice in that we can zoom in. I have all of the series loaded up on my Ipad as individual charts (loads faster and less scrolling). Works great. I use this more than I use Sky Safari or paper charts.

Besides being a free download, one of its many features is an invert display mode which allows you to view a typical black-on-white PDF as white-on-black. -Mark Post Extras:       Gord Carpal Tunnel Reged: 01/06/04 Loc: Toronto, ON, Canada Re: TriAtlas project (2nd. edition) - first proof [Re: deepskytraveler]       #5461404 - 10/08/12 11:05 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I had the TriAtlas charts printed at Staples on 11x17. I did both the A and C's. I didn't do all the C's, just down to as far south as I can see. For the A's, I put them in an art portfolio that handled 11x17, and had the bonus of being plastic sleeves. I put two charts in each one (back to back) and it makes a great "small" detailed chart. I really like the C's for doing deep analysis of a certain area. Those I punched and put in binders. I can take out a few for an area as needed. They go nice and deep, and were pretty much as I needed for all of my scopes in my backyard except the 10" on a good night, and now the C14 on pretty much any night. I like looking at printed charts in some ways more than planetarium programs. Certainly for outside observing at the scope.

In preferences select "Documents" and under this is the document color options. You can even set the background to black and the stars etc. to red!
