Atlas of the Southern Night Sky - where to buy?

[mark3d]

does anyone know where i can pick up a copy of this? preferably before Easter!

have tried 4 retailers and none have any - ABC and Dymocks dont stock it, would need to order it in (3-4 weeks). Melbourne Uni. bookshop doesnt have any stock.

it gets such good reviews and it might be just what we need to learn the constellations.

Hi Guys

Have you tried My Astro Shop, www.myastroshop.com.au? They are advertising them http://www.myastroshop.com.au/produc...sp?id=MAS-001C so you would hope they have them.

My local ABC shop did stock them, I'll check on Tuesday.

Myastroshop should carry it, given the shop belongs to one of the books authors..otherwise there is one on Ebay

Best price I could find on-line when I was buying a second copy and couldn't find a copy in any local stores.

They were also very quick and efficient. But seems like they don't have it in stock at present - some days to delivery.

ABC shop online has them in stock for $44.95.

Its a great read,and very,very well put together ..a... lot of shelf stuff is pretty broard in its info this book not so.. though the red constellation headers are there to make us learn the classical name ?..or a typo

Watch the shipping costs.

[mark3d]

fishpond look interesting, could get the book and shipping for $45.

will pay more to get it this week thanks though!

While I do like this book (Atlas of the Southern Night Sky) a lot and find the info within easy to interperet. I still find it a little fustrating that the charts are still orientated for the northern hemisphere! Everything has to be inverted!!

Makes the title a little misnomer? All in all though a very worthwhile buy.

Yes, its on eBay at a buy it now price of $45 and postage of $8, and delivery is always pretty quick.
