![]() ![]() Following features will be realized.Īmateur astronomers will welcome the new star atlas. I intended to make a better star atlas than existing star atlases. I decided to make a new star atlas for myself. I am using "Wil Tirion's Bright Star Atlas" but its scale is rather small (2.7mm/degree) and distortion is not small. ![]() I don't like "Norton's 2000" because the maps can not be opened flatly. I can not find favorite star atlases in epoch 2000. I liked its large scale (3.2mm/degree), wide field covering and small distortion. I am sure there have been people who actually got into astronomy and earn a good living from it without classic training, but I also suspect that they were probably a friend of a friend.Īs I say, these are just a few random thoughts, never let mine or anyone elses opinion ever stop you from your dream.My favorite star atlas had been "Norton's Star Atlas (Epoch 1950)". ![]() The second thought about a career would IMHO involve formal education, as much as passion and desire are powerful tools, I suspect to become a professional astronomer you would need a good deal of formal education.Īt the very least I suspect you would need to align yourself with an academic at a Uni. The first being you are in the right place to learn all you will ever need to know about astronomy. I have two lines of thought regarding your post. ![]() Hi Kay Star, just to give you a bit of encouragement, you have been a member of this forum longer than me, so take heart.
