I use three sources of info when under the stars.

1. ASTRONOMY Austraia 2012 by Wallace, Dawes and Northfield
2. THE NIGHT SKY, 2 Sided Planisphere
3. COLLINS STARS & PLANETS by IAN RIDPATH & WIL TIRION.

I really like COLLINS STARS & PLANETS as it fills in the blanks that the planisphere does not answer. At a pinch this book can just about do the job of all three but Astronomy 2012 is specific to Australia and is very detailed.

Here is the link to the Bintel site:

If you shop around you can find these items at a cheaper price than what is listed on the Bintel site.
