Latitude Ranges
Available:
When selecting a planisphere, it is a pretty good idea to
select the one for the latitude range in which you live. You can do
this easily by referring to the charts and maps on this page. But
keep in mind that the planispheres that are designed for northern
latitudes will not show more southerly stars and constellations. For
this reason, and especially if you sometimes travel to the southern
parts of the US, it is often a good idea to get the planisphere for
the latitude range below the one you live in. Keep in mind, too,
that the planispheres with latitude range of 20°-30° can be used in
all parts of the United States, including Hawaii and Florida. And if
you are planning to take a planisphere on your next Caribbean
Cruise, the 20°-30° version is definitely the one to get!

Description: The
Night Sky Planisphere is printed with dark stars
on a light background for easy nighttime readability. The
constellations are drawn simply, emphasizing the brighter
stars. Coordinate grid lines are shown without being intrusive.
A selection of deep sky objects for binocular viewing is
included. The map scale is larger than on similar-size
planispheres because the whole sky does not have to be
shown on a single map. Even the 5" pocket version
is large enough to be quite readable.
