The book is nicely written. Here is an excerpt. Constellations are listed alphabetically and the southern ones often make reference to Hartung.

I enjoy browsing this book although I use SkyTools to create observing lists and then use the GoTo function to locate the multiple stars. The introduction also contains some general stuff on doubles, equipment, etc. I just love books so for me, it was money well spent and Sissy Haas is a respected astronomer/writer.

I also purchased it from Bintel to support our local suppliers.

Cheers
