Though one might adjust the planisphere by overlaying a cutout to add latitude to the horizon and cut more out in equal measure from the other side (one might use the latter as the piece for the former?). Easier to just buy another planisphere for less than $10. Me I'm designing a celestial helmet (like a planetarium, but you wear it around your head) .. Ideally lightweight virtual reality goggles would be nice plus a good software package to go with it- maybe someday.
