Orion Star Target Planisphere Info - For finding your way around the starry sky, there's no better tool than a star wheel, or planisphere. Whether you're skywatching with just your eyes, with binoculars, or with a telescope, it's essential for learning constellations, identifying bright stars, and planning observing sessions. Our Star Target features a detailed star map drafted by celestial cartographer Wil Tirion. It shows all constellations visible from mid-northern latitudes (30-deg to 50-deg) and the locations of 100 showpiece star clusters, nebulas, and galaxies for viewing with binoculars or a telescope. You just dial in the date and time, and -- voila! -- Star Target displays a current map of the night sky. On the back are simple instructions plus viewing tips and a calendar of annual meteor showers. A must for any stargazer, especially beginners. Made of coated, dew-resistant cardboard. Disk diameter, 8-3/8".

best 11 dollars I ever spent . If you live between 30 and 50 deg latitude (basically all of US, except for the lower tips of Texas/Florida), this is an accurate star map that also includes deep space objects (other galaxies, etc.), pseudo-constellations ("the winter hexagon"), navigation aids (big dipper --> polaris, e.g.), the ecliptic, and of course milky way. Dates of meteor showers are also listed on the back. Very useful.

Great . I got this to go with the FunScope I got my seven year old son for Christmas. It's easy to read, dead on and durable. Price is good too.
Orion Star Target Planisphere Reviews
Cool . Good Planisphere, but you really do need a laser light or something to read it with because the text is so small on it. It does work well and it's accurate.

Orion Star Target Planisphere Opinions
Orion Star Target Planisphere Purchase . I purchased this Star Planisphere for my 7 year old grandson for Christmas. Although it was smaller in size than I had hoped (my own fault because I didn't look for dimensions), it was a great gift for him. Easy to use and has so much information that he can store. Thank you for selling this item and acting so expediciously. Great seller and I would buy again.
