Supernova Search Charts and Handbook Pack/Set ICL is written by Gregg D. Thompson and published by Cambridge University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0521267218 (ISBN 10) and 9780521267212 (ISBN 13).
This unique atlas contains 236 charts of more than 300 of the brightest galaxies, each specifically prepared to facilitate the discovery of supernovae. The comparison of these charts with the field seen in a telescope enables any extra-galactic supernova to be spotted immediately. The proto-type set of these charts has already resulted in the discovery of several new supernovae. The charts include 345 galaxies printed on translucent paper for use on a lightbox, each one carrying an explanation of the constellation in which the galaxy lies, special characteristics of the galaxy, observing instructions, expected maximum brightness for the supernovae in each galaxy, and the reference for the sequence. A handbook, which accompanies the charts, describes how to make and record supernova discoveries, and reviews the present understanding of supernovae.
