Night Skies

Observing the night skies can be confusing and awesome. This pocket guide provides, by means of a clear text and excellent photographs, an understanding of the night skies observable from the Southern Hemisphere, and describes the planets and their positions until the end of the century. A set of 13 star charts, designed for use from southern Africa, allows the easy identification of more than 5,000 stars, the Milky Way, and many wonderful objects such as nebulae, galaxies and star clusters.
