Book recommendation for the newb.

Hi everyone

It's been a while since my last post here.
I recently took the plunge and bought an astrotrac. Not knowing a thing really about Astronomy, I was utterly astonished that with a set up time of about 60 seconds in total last Saturday night, I was able to get trail-free images at 100mm for over 2 minutes on my cameras.

The big problem though, is that I have no idea what to shoot. I know some of the things I can look at but is there a book people can recommend me that shows the Southern Skies during the year, and what we can see in them?

Thanks in advance!
Adam
