Sky Map
The front cover has a specially designed luminous planisphere that rotates to
simulate the seasonal progression of celestial objects through the sky. When the
planisphere is pre-exposed to light, star positions glow brightly against a dark
background, mimicking actual constellations. More than a thousand stars and
deep-sky objects are listed and charted. The illustrated reference section
provides basic information and the visual characteristics of various types of
stars, nebulae and galaxies.
The maps measure 13¾" x 11½" and are printed on a heavyweight,
moisture resistant card stock. The pages have a special comb binding so they can
lay flat or be folded over.
