Not what I'd hoped for, but...
Having ordered this along with a Messier Observer's Planisphere for a friend, I found this one to be underwhelming. Although both were described as "large", this one is small in my hands, with less information and a display that is spl...

Planispheres Rule.
This is a wonderful tool. It works in the field and is also quite a nice educational aid to learn the night sky. I used to spend time printing star charts, or dragging out a full book of charts from which I only needed one or two pages. Now, If I am ...

Nicely done - and large.

Messier finder
The item was meant as a gift and it's recipient really appreciated it. One negative - shipping. I ordered the object on the 7th and didn't receive it until the 19th. It spent 5 days sitting in CA. Offer a better shipping method. USPS Media ...

Worth every penny
I can't say enough good things about this planisphere. It's large size is a major plus. The plastic construction lessens the wear and tear you usually get with a cardboard planisphere. The star field is impressive and makes finding the Mes...

I bought the "Messier Observer's Planisphere - Large 18" Star / Constellation Finder" to help identify alignment starts for my Dobsonian telescope, plus locate DSOs for observation. Not only does this planisphere work well but the...

Do not buy the black and white addition. It is poorly printed and difficult to read.

Just the thing for old school navigation
With the advent of go-to mounts the skill of star hopping is being lost but w/ this simple device it is much easier to recover the lost technique.....

For some reason the background
For some reason the background of every page is grey instead of white, making it hard to read.
