Yes, the locations of celestial objects, visibility of specific constellations, and the perspective afforded by Earth's rotation all contribute to the differences between astronomy in the two hemispheres. For example, observers in the southern hemisphere can see more of the Southern Cross and the Magellanic Clouds, while those in the northern hemisphere can see more of the Northern Cross and constellations like Ursa Major and Orion. Moreover, the southern hemisphere can see the center of the Milky Way galaxy, something that is not as visible from the northern hemisphere.
