That's a guide to help us to discover the sky that we could observe from our latitudes through the year. We could recognise the most caracteristic constellations and the most remarkable objects like double stars, stellar clusters, galaxies, etc.  What's more, it contains information about the moon phases and the visibility of the planets.
