Hi,

hi Alvin,
i notice last Sat and Sun the the sky was so hazy when i bring my family to Sentosa...all the while i've been referring to Southern hemisphere sky chart,can someone tell me whether i'm rite or wrong looking at this chart or maybe i should look into the northern hemisphere sky chart?

That's depend on the star chart you are using... normally the star chart will indicate which one to use. For example, the star chart from the book "STARS AND PLANTS" by Ian Ridpath indicate that use southern hemisphere star chart for latitudes 0 - 40 degree south.

Have a nice day.

hi Alvin and Weixing,

Thankyou so much for the info you guys give to me becoz everytime when I print out the monthly sky maps i dun know which one i should print,
so know then i know I should print both hemisphere northern and southern....

thanks
amin.

I know both refer to the nature, but one grows on the ground while the other is high up on the sky billions of miles away!

Alternatively i prefer to introduce people to the cambridge sky atlas, because it is simple and the stars' spacing in between have accounted for the "curvature of our sky". with only 20 pages it's not hard to find what you need.
