About: Star Maps for Southern Africa

Star Maps for Southern Africa is the first star guide of it kind in the southern hemisphere. It features 96 star maps for observing the southern skies with the naked eye, standard binoculars or small telescope. Divided into 12 sets, the uncluttered, generously sized maps cover 360-degree views of the sky, for each month of the year and for different times during each night. With the stars depicted in black on a white background, users are encouraged to pencil in their own connections between stars, and to track and draw in the paths of the planets. This unique guide will remain accurate and relevant for a lifetime.
