Hartung's Astronomical Objects For Southern Telescopes

Many of the most spectacular and interesting astronomical objects are found in the magnificent southern skies.



Professor E. J. Hartung first produced a comprehensive and highly respected guide for southern observers in 1968. The book was thoroughly revised, expanded in 1995, enhancing its essential character as an indispensable source of information for the active observer of the night sky.



Nearly 200 objects are illustrated in black and white 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.



The authors' passion for their subject makes this a unique and inspirational book.
