Product Description
The Night Sky is a rotating star finder (planisphere) that allows the user to recognize the constellations for any time of night, any day of the year. The sky appears to rotate (due to the rotation and orbital motion of the earth), so to be successful recognizing the constellations a beginner needs to know which stars are above the horizon at any time. This is the full-sized version of The Night Sky suitable for the 40°-50° latitude zone (northern United States and parts of Europe). We have versions for the following latitude zones: 50°-60°, 40°-50°, 30°-40°, 20°-30°, and the Southern Hemisphere. We also have pocket-sized versions available for the same latitude zones.

• The Night Sky Chart 13 October, 2008
This an excellent tool for amateur astronomers and has helped me greatly to identify sky objects. The two sided charts are unusual. The chart was real easy to align for the date.

• Just Like The Sky 12 June, 2008
I look at this, then look at the sky... can identify all I'm looking for.
The only thing it doesn't show is the planets. Thus 4 stars.

• A Little Disappointed 14 September, 2008
I was disappointed that the planets were'nt identified and the print is too small for my old eyes. All in all, it wasn't a good purchase for me.
