Many of the most spectacular and interesting astronomical objects are found in the magnificent southern skies. With this up-to-date, superbly illustrated handbook everyone, from the amateur with a pair of binoculars to the expert with a sophisticated telescope, can discover more about what they have seen and where to look for new and interesting objects.
Professor E. J. Hartung first produced a comprehensive and highly respected guide for southern observers in 1968. Now the book has been thoroughly revised and expanded, enhancing its essential character as an indispensable source of information for the active observer of the night sky.
Nearly 200 objects are illustrated (more than 60 in colour) and much new background material has been included about the constellations and celestial coordinate systems as well as a more modern description of the stars, nebulae and galaxies. New tables include a 'southern Messier' list of objects.
