How do I safely mark up my Sky Atlas 2000?

But, back to my point. At first I had thought that I wanted to draw
the constellations into my Star Atlas 2000 (I have the deluxe
laminated version (black on white)).. I now think that I'm going to
hold off on that for a bit, but I am wondering what would be a good
marker to temporarily write on the maps with (something that will
wash/rub off). Things like comets that I might want to mark on the
map for a few nights but then get rid of.

I know I could just experiment, and I probably will with any ideas you
give me, but I thought I'd ask if you have any suggestions/experience.

Dull black crayons or, failing that......lipstick.

I use PostIt brand flags like shown here...

I use the "standard flags" to write on and the "arrow flags" to point to =
things.

I use Staedtler Lumocolor 315 pens (fine and medium).
WARNING they come in permanent and non-permanent versions! Be sure to
get the latter. The only difference between the two is the lettering
along the side of the pen.
They don't rub off easily but will come off with an eraser or
'baby-wipes'
(tissues damped with alcohol)
I've used them for layouts for custom paint jobs on many different
plastics and acrylic surfaces, but test on a non-critical area first.
Available from most arts and craft shops here (UK)

Replace nospam with the antithesis of hills

I wonder if overhead transparency pens would work?

Lipstick?!? Sounds crazy at first, but when I think about it....

Yes.
The fine, permanent kind work well. I buy boxes of ispropyl alcohol
impregregnated 'pre-injection swabs', and use these as erasers when needed.
