Look up and you’ll find that the night sky has its own geography. This detailed A3 star chart maps the autumn skies as seen from 37° South, covering New Zealand and other parts of the Southern Hemisphere.

Produced as a companion to Patrick Moore’s acclaimed Stars of the Southern Skies, it’s a useful guide for amateur astronomers, educators and anyone who likes knowing what they’re looking at when the stars come out. It also provides a helpful reference for observing Matariki, the Māori name for the Pleiades star cluster, whose rising in the midwinter sky marks the Māori New Year in Aotearoa.

A practical piece of astronomical reference with a distinctly southern perspective — and a reminder that looking to the stars is an old habit, but there’s always something new to notice.
