The Night Sky 40°-50° (Small) Star Finder Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
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 pocket-sized version of The Night Sky suitable for the 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 full-sized versions available for the same latitude zones.

Amazingly easy to use, was finding constellations for the first time in less than 5 minutes! No other reference I have used shows the stars exactly as they appear in the sky like this chart. The chart is made of a durable plastic and fits easily in my backpack (bought at a recreational equipment co-op). There is a larger version that I may buy from to have on hand in the RV, but the small version is definitely easy enough to read.
This is a classic star finder dial, like the kind you had at summer camp. This is a smaller version, about the size of your hand. It comes in a protective plastic sleeve. You can easily put this in a pack so you can add some star gazing to your camping or hiking trips.
Made of plastic with a brass connector, you never have to worry about it getting wet. Thought it might be too small, but it is just the right size for my binocular case. A genuine hillbilly goto system...I'm sure it will give me years of good service.
The Star Finder is very handy. Check the date and time and one can see the constellations. The planisphere is very accurate. It is an excellent product
This is very straightforward to use and we have spent hours looking at the stars with this as our guide. We purchased our first one several years ago and have added different sizes and latitudes.
Daughter needed this for her Astronomy course and i could not find it anywhere! So grateful to find it here. Awesome price and it was exactly what she needed.
We've used this a few times, but can't wait to use it more during the winter when we sit outside around our fire pit! A great size, and pretty sturdy.
Bravo!!!! Ole !!!
