Model: chandler_planisphere

Generally regarded as the BEST planisphere!

This sturdy planisphere is a quick and convenient way of seeing which constellations are above the horizon at any specified time and day of the year.

Sky and Telescope magazine adopted The David Chandler 'Night Sky' planisphere in 1976 and has promoted it ever since. It is widely recognized by the amateur astronomy and educational communities as the best planisphere on the market.

Eliminates over 90% of the distortion inherent in conventional one-sided planispheres.

"Chandler's planisphere (rotating star-finder wheel) is the finest available" Sky News

Key features:

Unlike coffee-table planispheres, The Night Sky is printed with dark stars on a light background, for easy nighttime readability.

The constellations are drawn simply, emphasizing the brighter stars. The constellation patterns were designed in collaboration with the editors of Sky and Telescope magazine.

Coordinate grid lines are shown without being intrusive. Coordinates are shown because they can be useful for cross referencing with star atlases.

A selection of deep sky objects for binocular viewing is included. It is important to point out to beginners that the best first telescope is a pair of binoculars. You may already have what it takes to start observing tonight!

The Night Sky is larger than it looks! The map scale is larger than on similar-size planispheres because the whole sky does not have to be shown on a single map.

Measures approx 8.5 x 10 inches
