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".

Customer Rating:
Summary: best 11 dollars I ever spent
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good
Comment: item is good as it is describe, but the way the company produced it made the product confusing because you have to hold it upside down
