Not long ago I bought about a dozen of these Philips Stargazer packs 51.5°.
I live at 42° north. The difference in the planisphere view window with my other 42° Planispheres is almost negligable. The size of the Philips stargazer is larger than my other Philips.
Leave it alone. Use it for what a planisphere does best, gives an idea of what stars are in what direction. OK, so you won't be able to see the faint stars on the horizon below Scorpius. But you'll already have your directions by then, so it will have served its purpose.
I paid 5.95 for my packs and for only about 20-25% of normal cost I got planishere and full sized star and moon wall charts for students. An outstanding value. I'd have bought 5 dozen if they had that many.
