FREE to good home: (1968) Hartung's Astronomical Objects

I offer this original, purple, hardcover, 1968 edition, of "Astronomical Objects for Southern Telescopes", by E.J. Hartung.

Price: FREE!!! (but only to a good home.......)

I wish to donate this volume to a person who is at
the beginner-to-intermediate level in amateur astronomy, and who needs a good observational guide as to what can be seen with various apertures.

Nice one Robert!
I have the 80's reprint which, like the donated one, does not have Malin's pretty pictures, but it is still an excellent book in all other respects.
Nice score Bob, you will enjoy.

You are aWONDERFULand generous man Robert!

It's people like you that shine through so much bad happening in the world and makes us feel good & secure again.
My Hartung's was practically "given" to me as well from someone else on this forum that's a wonderful, kind and generous person as well. Yes, you know who you are- but I don't know if you want to be outed publicly.

The best community here, ever!

Good onya Robert, you are a Scholar and a Gentleman
I have both the original and the Malin, Frew edition.
The newer version gets lots of use
Another good thing about the astronomical community, helping out other astronomers without recompense
Cheers
