Excellent start. Referring to the C Atlas (my preference because of scale): 1) For readability, the page numbers should be outside the chart area, even if it means shrinking the amount of chart area per page. 2) The labels should be of uniform size. This may result in even more overlap of labels than in your samples. For the charts to be readable in the field, the overlap of labels needs to be controlled. If it is, the charts become usable. 3) Many of your design goals are excellent. You have some real potential, here. Here is a link to what was going to be the best atlas ever printed: http://www.skygx.com/ But it looks like it will never go to press, now, so you can step right in. You should note the design goals and see if any of them make sense for you. Also look at their sample pages. 4) I printed an atlas from Megastar 5.x a while back, with 6 degrees per page, and the scale was excellent for the display of DSOs, but quite unwieldy in the field. Your scale would be better. Be sure there is slight overlap from chart to chart, and be certain the atlas contains ALL the star clusters in Archinal & Hynes book "Star Clusters" (Willmann-Bell).
Nice start.
