Planispheres are maps of the celestial stars as seen from earth. They are the replacement for the planispheric astrolabe. The first star chart to be called a planisphere was created in 1624. Planispheres are great for learning the constellations and knowing the exact position of the stars at a particular time to get more accurate readings when used with other navigational tools. It measures 3.25" in diameter.
How to use it:
1. Align the planisphere coin so the correct horizon name matches with the horizon you are viewing. For example: if you are looking at the northern horizon, hold the coin upside down so the name "North" meets downward with the actual northern horizon. If you are looking east, hold the coin on its side so the name "East" meets with the actual eastern horizon. The example below shows the coin rotated to match with the western horizon.
2. Rotate the disk to match with the current day and hour.
3. Look at both the disk and actual sky and start correlating the constellations on the planisphere with the stars in the sky.
