Hartung's Astronomical Objects for Southern Telescopes: A Handbook for Amateur Observers

Professor E. J. Hartung first produced a comprehensive and highly respected guide for southern observers in 1968. Now the book has been thoroughly revised, expanded and beautifully illustrated, 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.
