- Used Book in Good Condition
The Night Sky ™ is the easiest way to locate and identify the constellations visible in the night sky above you. Simply rotate the map wheel to align the date and current time and The Night Sky™ planisphere shows you what constellations are visible from your location and where to look. Our pioneering design eliminates the distortion that makes other star finders hard for beginners to use. Our carefully considered design makes The Night Sky™ easy to use in the dark and a favorite of professionals at observatories around the world. The map is printed on a light background with an ink color chosen for easy use in the light while providing high contrast when using a red astronomy light under a dark sky. Other products with small white stars printed on a dark background are all but unusable in the dark! Other companies may give you a one-size-fits-all product that can doom beginners to failure. The Night Sky™ is available in versions for latitude zones for the northern hemisphere all the way up to the arctic circle as well as in a Southern Hemisphere version. We also have a custom version for Japan.
