LX200-ACF TIPS Star Charts Even with the AutoStar II's massive 145,000 object library, star charts and planispheres are still useful for a variety of reasons. In particular, they are a great aid in planning a night of celestial viewing. A wide variety of star charts are available in books, in magazines, on the internet and on CD Roms.
