I'll second Greg's recommendation of Hartung. This is the best book for southern observers, bar none (IMHO). It has everything from hundreds of double stars, to the big, bright DSOs, to dozens of objects in the Magellanic Clouds, and open clusters, globulars and galaxies galore. Over 1100, I think, arranged by RA. And the introductory chapters contain fantastically useful information that is also interestingly presented. It's the only astro book I know of that you can read in bed.
