What others have said...
"The Sky Guide has become an invaluable resource for anyone in South Africa who has an interest in astronomy, form the fledgling stargazer to the professional astronomer. The monthly dairy is very useful to keep up with events and the supporting diagrams are excellent and easy to interpret. The Sky Guide has plenty for everyone, including useful contacts and web links".
- Dr David Buckley, SALT Project Scientist & Astronomy Operations Manager
"A splendidly presented guide to the southern sky, this compact, concise and thorough astronomical handbook is an invaluable resource for all sky-watchers, be they amateurs or professional. I particularly liked its guide through the richest regions of the southern Milky Way, and it has an excellent list of useful web sites".
- Prof. P Charles, Former Director SAAO
