mars - Where to obtain Tycho Brahe's data?

The page I referred to in my question lists the reference




Brahe, Tycho. Edited by I.L.E. Dreyer Tychonis Brahe Dani Opera Omnia. (in Latin) Vol 1-15. 1913-1929. (contains the observations in Tycho's notebooks)




Now this page is supposed to be an electronic version of Tycho's book. It says




Opera omnia, edidit I.L.E. Dreyer




in the big title at the bottom of the page. However, browsing through the book, I find the title




Tychonis Brahe Dani Scripta Astronomica.




I don't see words "opera omnia" anywhere. Is that the correct book? The first observation listed in that Excel file is




1582 DIE 12 NOUEMBRIS, MANE. Declinatio [MS] 23 7 B




Ok. So, on page 174, it does say something about the year 1582. However, the given coordinates do not appear, and neither does the date 12th November. The Excel file also refers to the Mars sign, which I cannot find from that page at all.



I hope someone could help from here :)
