Nothern and Southern Hemispheres. Information on their rotational velocities and periods is
given together with their spectral type and luminosity. Binary and multiple star systems are
explained in detail. Special mention is made of Barnard's  Kapteyn's  Kepler's  and Van
Maanen's Stars and the properties of many open clusters are given. With its emphasis on helping
the amateur astronomer gain a better understanding of what they are looking at. The Star Atlas
Companion will provide a new dimension to observing the star and is an invaluable supplement to
any star atlas.
