It included a nice wall chart, a guide to the northern constellations and a nice planisphere. $4.99 not bad. My question is that the planisphere is for 51.5 degree's N. I am located at 33 dgrees in SoCal. Will this planisphere be of any use to me? Is it merely a matter that the chart will show stars to the north that will be below my horizon and not show stars to the south that I could see? Any feedback on how this works? Thanks. -------------------- Jeff Orion XT8 Stellarvue 20x85 Pentax PCF WP II 20x60 Minolta 7x35 William Optic 8x42 Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Planisphere question Jeff Blair 08/06/06 02:14 AM Re: Planisphere question refractory   08/06/06 05:04 AM Re: Planisphere question edwincjones   08/06/06 08:06 AM Re: Planisphere question Jeff Blair   08/06/06 07:34 PM Re: Planisphere question refractory   08/07/06 12:28 AM Re: Planisphere question DJB   08/08/06 04:45 AM Re: Planisphere question EdZ   08/08/06 06:32 AM Re: Planisphere question Jeff Blair   08/08/06 02:35 PM Re: Planisphere question DJB   08/09/06 03:51 AM Re: Planisphere question John Flannery   08/09/06 04:44 AM Re: Planisphere question EdZ   08/09/06 06:19 AM Re: Planisphere question DJB   08/10/06 04:11 AM Extra information 15 registered and 26 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
