Hi Daniel

Thanks for the reply. They don't know much astronomically speaking so was after a book that had objects that are relatively easy to find with a pair of binoculars with a little bit of history/explanation to go with the object.

The two books under consideration atm are:
Southern Sky Guide 3rd Edition by David Ellyard & Wil Tirion
and
Atlas of the Southern Night Sky 4th Edition by Steve Massey & Steve Quirk

So I'm hoping that there are those who have read and or used these and could advise me accordingly as to their appropriateness.

Paul
