Now that I have a Telrad I'm wondering if there is such a thing as a star atlas designed specifically for use with Telrads?
If so can anyone direct me to one?

Dewayne,

If you have a normal star chart I have circles for the telrads I will see if I can put into the computer for you, or if you want I can get you some. I got mine from Astrofest but I have the company name I got them from. It makes it easier then going out and buying a new set of charts. Let me know.

Here is a list of other Telrad Star Charts. I hope they help.

Thats the two I can find now. I hope they help you with the telrad. The second one shows close up of the objects on the charts and what is near them in the sky.

Sky Atlas 2000 (not sure which editions, mine's deluxe) has an overlay sheet which includes Telrad circles. Many of the astro chart softwares -- including the free Cartes du Ciel (Sky Charts)
www.stargazing.net/astropc/index.html

have "finder circles" which you can calibrate to match the Telrad field (I belive the sizes are 5, 2, 0.5 degrees but CdC may have that as the default anyway).

I use "The Sky" and it has the telrad circles in it. They seem to fit the telrad that I have. I like my telrad and use it all the time.
