		Antonin Becvar was born on June 10, 1901, in Stara Boleslav, the former Czechoslovakia.
		They were reissued abroad and became a truly indispensable need for night sky observers all over the world for a long time.
		Becvar is internationally so renowned an astronomer that, in 1970, the IAU (International Astronomical Union) named after him one of the craters on the face-off side of the Moon and the asteroid of number 4567, which was discovered at Klet, bears also his name.

		As with last night my plan for tonight was to observe double stars.
		I focused this evening on Aql using my "SkyAtlas 2000" and Antonin Becvar's "Atlas of the Heavens Catalog 1950.0" to prepare my observing plan.
		The moon was close to full and it washed out a significant amount of the sky.

		It was the only star map in my life until the eve of my first serious star party, when it became clear that I would have to acquire something more wide-ranging.
		Quite the contrary, each of Tirion’s sheets enclosed less sky than did Becvar’s, so there had to be more of them.
		Although Tirion’s charts were made available in a number of formats, they were all issued on 15-inch by 20-inch sheets of heavy cream-coloured paper, and all were printed single-sided.

		Inside a bound package measuring 11" by 16" were 26 charts covering the sky at a scale of 7.8mm per degree.
		The only suitable competition was Antonin Becvar's "Atlas of the Heavens," which over the years had revealed problems in need of repair.
		With its sweeping improvements, Tirion's work became the replacement for its predecessor, and took over as the standard intermediate-scale star atlas.

	Catching Halley's Comet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		At times during these long nights, it would seem that the comet was daring us to find it.
		We would arrive at the exact coordinates for the comet, using the finder charts from "Sky and Telescope" and "Astronomy" magazines, along with Antonin Becvar's "Atlas of the Heavens" and Wil Tiron's "Sky Atlas 2000.0" star charts as extra reference, but the comet was just not there.
		We would have nights where the apparent limiting magnitude was down in the middle +14's, excellent seeing, but still no comet.

	Uranometria 2000
		Walter Scott Houston started writing his column "Deep Sky Wonders" in Sky and Telescope, encouraging amateurs to seek out objects beyond our local stellar neighbourhood.
		About the same time, Antonin Becvar in Czechoslovakia produced a new atlas, named Skalnate Pleso after his observatory.
		The charts were larger, more numerous, and on a larger scale, showed much fainter stars, but, best of all, used different symbols in varying sizes to distinguish between open and globular clusters, planetary, diffuse, and dark nebulae, and galaxies.

	Messier 102
		Don Machholz also discusses the subject and comes to similar conclusions as the present author.
