Many field guides and popular books on amateur astronomy have been written, but few are devoted entirely to the rich skies of the southern hemisphere. The knowledge of South African experts offer stargazers some unique insights into the night skies in their half of the world.
The text is complemented by superb illustrations – star charts, photographs and graphics – making it a visual delight. A must for anybody who has ever gazed in wonder at the glory of a star-filled sky, also for all budding amateur astronomers, and an interesting addition to the shelves of the experts.
