Print Friendly & PDF. Free Mag 7 Star Charts. What is it? This project is my attempt to produce a free, downloadable set of high-quality star charts -- the Mag-7 Star Atlas -- capable of being printed at reasonable resolutions on the average home printer. The Mag-7 Star Atlas plots stars down to Magnitude 7.25, with double / multiple stars indicated by a thin horizontal bar. Plotted DSO's (Deep Sky Objects) include all objects on the Messier list, the RASC's finest NGC list, and the Herschell 400 list --- more than 550 DSO's in total. Now that this project is also being hosted by the kind folks at CloudyNights, availability shouldn't be an issue and it will be more convenient and reliable to make reference to the charts in forum posts (no need to worry about an external site being down when linking to or referring to a chart).
But Free? Yes. The Mag-7 Star Atlas There are 20 primary charts and one supplemental chart (11a for the Virgo Coma Berenices region) comprising the complete Mag-7 Star Atlas.

Printing a Book with CSS: Boom! HTML and CSS, two of our favorite acronyms, are normally associated with web pages. And deservedly so: HTML is the dominant document format on the web and CSS is used to style most HTML pages. But, are they suitable for off-screen use? Can CSS be used for serious print jobs? To find out, we decided to take the ultimate challenge: to produce the next edition of our book directly from HTML and CSS files.
In this article we sketch our solution and quote from the style sheet used.

Print vs. pixel#section1 A printed book has many features not seen on screens. Web browsers are good at dealing with pixels on a screen, but not very good at printing.
CSS2#section2 CSS2 has a notion of paged media (think sheets of paper), as opposed to continuous media (think scrollbars). Having a US-based publisher, we were given the page size in inches. CSS3#section3. Css guide - printing. CSS2 introduced a mechanism for closer control over printing web pages that are styled using style sheets. In this section, we'll look at how this works.
There are two aspects to consider with printing. The page, and the contents of the page. For the page, we need to consider what size it is, whether it is oriented as a portrait or landscape, what printing marks might be required, and what margin it has. For the content we need to worry about where pages break, and what is done with widow and orphan lines of text (we'll explain these terms below).
In CSS2, the page properties are defined by the @page rule, while several new properties help control page breaking. The @page rule At the heart of printing in CSS2 is the @page rule. The @page rule defines a context for printing. The properties of a page can be applied to every page, or differently to left and right hand side pages. Named pages @page figures { size: landscape Page specific properties What it does Possible values Percentages Length values.
