Books
I would add in some books, skycharts, planisphere, posters
No point giving him the tools without the recipe and a bit of motivation and direction - unless your experience with the sky is already there.
Exploring the Night Sky with Binoculars by Patrick Moore
It covers both hemispheres though
Plus maybe Atlas of the Southern Sky - by Massey and Quirk
and something that is astronomically pictorial . . .
He can read the books every day but he can't view everyday and he will need to learn his way around and understand what he is looking at - and give him some sense of purpose, otherwise it might just become a boring exercise of looking at more stars !
Maybe the books can come from others.
Maybe others could add some better choices here
Cheers
