I'd really like to get started with plotting, and my first problem is to get 
the right sky maps.
I heard of the Brno maps being the IMO standart and finally found a source 
(http://www.uaidot it/sez_met/mappe.htm) to download them. What I have now, are 
.gif files of all (?) 12 maps.
If I just print them, they won't be in the "real" format. Is this a problem 
for those who insert the data into the computer? Would it be better to get 
the real maps from somewhere (and what paper format are they in), and where 
could I get them from (sending some money to IMO across the atlantic ocean to 
get 12 maps back across the atlantic ocean (I live in Germany) doesn't seem 
to clever for me)?

At least I've got time to practise after the Quadrantids have finished the 
(meteor-)active part of the year.
