Description

The Star Target Planisphere is a handy analog star chart tool that helps astronomers of all skill levels find their bearings in the night sky without needing batteries or apps. Plainly printed with constellations, stars, nebulae, and deep-sky objects visible from northern latitudes between 40° and 60°, this planisphere provides a clear view of the celestial sphere at any date and time. Simply align the rotating disks by matching the current date and time to reveal a detailed map of the skies above, perfect for planning evening stargazing or confirming what you’re seeing overhead. It covers a catalogue of roughly 100 popular sky targets, including bright star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae suitable for observation with binoculars or a telescope.
