Star Clusters resolves the uncertainty: Westerlund 2 indeed has associated nebulosity, but that nebulous cluster should properly be called NGC 3247 (while the object that Millennium plots as NGC 3247 should actually be called Collinder 220).
The photograph on the front cover is the Lagoon Nebula and Star Cluster, better known as Messier 8 or NGC 6523 and was produced from two PPF 400 film negatives taken by Tony Hallas using a 12.5-inch Newtonian reflector from Mount Pinos, California.

 Millenium Star Atlas
The Millennium Star Atlas's coordinator and lead author Roger W. Sinnott of Sky Publishing has worked closely with ESA and the Hipparcos scientific groups for the last two years, leading a team dedicated to the production of the most detailed, comprehensive, and complete star atlas ever undertaken.
More than 10,000 of the nearest stars are labelled with their distances in light-years, as newly determined by the Hipparcos satellite.
While the world's astronomers are busily digesting and interpreting the rich scientific harvest from the Hipparcos mission, and are expected to continue doing so for many years, ESA views the Millennium Star Atlas as a fitting end to its formal responsibilities to the Hipparcos mission.

 Amazon.co.uk: Star Maker (Millennium SF Masterworks S): Books: Olaf Stapledon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The felt presence of the Star Maker remained unintelligible, even though it increasingly illuminated the cosmos, like the splendour of the unseen sun at dawn.
But the godlike Star Maker is not exactly God, as we see when the scope expands beyond one mere universe to show an endless cycle of creations, many of them being crude and "immature" products of this experimenter's hand.
However, the sheer imaginative scope of this text is phenomenal, an examination of important philosophical themes such as the ability to comprehend the possible purpose of God (the 'Star Maker') masquerading as a mythological history of the universe.

Among the priceless treasures on display was the flawless white 203.04 carat Millennium Star, which was targeted in a spectacular thwarted heist at the British capital's Millennium Dome in 2000.
Five years ago, the pear shaped Millennium Star was the centrepiece of a display in London's Millennium Dome when a gang of international thieves burst through doors on a digger truck, exploded smoke grenades and dashed into the display chamber.

The choice here is the Millennium Star Atlas, which goes down to magnitude 11.5.
Even this atlas doesn't show as many stars as can be seen by even a small telescope under dark skies, but it does show you enough to navigate by.
Millennium doesn't actually contain that many more objects than HB or Uranometria, but the magnitude limit is much more consistent with Millennium.

The Hipparcos mission was a major technical challenge for both European industry which built the satellite and the European astronomical community which produced the resulting star catalogues.

 GameSpy: LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Review
The game plays fast and loose with the story, adding a healthy dose of slapstick, and the cutscenes are worth the price of admission on their own, from the revised portrayal of Leia and Han's budding romance to the hysterical manner in which Vader reveals his family secrets to Luke.
There are also several levels that focus on vehicle combat: There's the final Death Star run from Star Wars, the Millennium Falcon asteroid chase from Empire, and Luke and Leia's speeder bike chase through the forests of Endor in Return of the Jedi.
And of course, it would be a disservice not to mention the co-op mode: there's no Internet play, but two players can work as a team and control two of the on-screen characters, making it a perfect game to play with your kids (or parents, or girlfriend, or whoever).
