Product Description
This work intends to serve as a concise, month-by-month calendar for star watchers in the Southern Hemisphere. It features 12 charts showing the position of stars, constellations and other celestial objects in both northerly and southerly directions for each month of the year. The introduction explains the basic facts that observers need to know: the apparent motions of the stars, seasonal changes, star brightnesses, the nature of the Milky Way, and how the night sky is represented on maps. In addition, location tables ae provided for the four planets bright enough to be seen easily from the earth with the naked eye; Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The principal lunar features are also indicated on a pair of photographs showing the moon at first and last quarter.
