Digital camera reviews of Orion Star Target Planisphere

Digital camera Review: Cool
Summary: 4 Stars

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.

Summary of Orion Star Target Planisphere

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".
