Book Reviews of The Night Sky 40?-50? (Large)
Book Review: Check what you Get
Summary: 2 Stars
Product is good. In general I love these things. It's a useful tool for beginner to intermediate sky watchers.
MY PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT I bought it as a gift for my son and when I received it I immediately wrapped it up. After he opened it (and I believe after the return policy expired) we realized we were shipped the 40 degree SOUTH latitude version. Seeing as we don't live in AUSTRALIA this is of little use to us. So just double check what you get.
Summary of The Night Sky 40?-50? (Large)
The Night Sky is a rotating star finder (planisphere) that allows the user to recognize the constellations for any time of night, any day of the year. The sky appears to rotate (due to the rotation and orbital motion of the earth), so to be successful recognizing the constellations a beginner needs to know which stars are above the horizon at any time.This is the full-sized version of The Night Sky suitable for the 40?-50? latitude zone (northern United States and parts of Europe). We have versions for the following latitude zones: 50?-60?, 40?-50?, 30?-40?, 20?-30?, and the Southern Hemisphere. We also have pocket-sized versions available for the same latitude zones.
