Southern skies starchart

Produced as a companion to the acclaimed book Stars of the Southern Skies by renowned astronomer Patrick Moore, this detailed star chart maps the autumn night sky as seen from 37° South latitude including New Zealand, southern Australia, South Africa, and parts of South America. Perfect for amateur astronomers, educators, and stargazers, the chart highlights the unique constellations and celestial features of the Southern Hemisphere. It is also an excellent guide for observing Matariki, the Māori name for the Pleiades star cluster, whose rising in the midwinter sky marks the Māori New Year in New Zealand. A beautiful and practical reference for anyone interested in astronomy, navigation, or the cultural traditions connected to the southern night sky.
