Let's Find the Constellations with a Planisphere
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a handy little star map that would not only show you what the constellations look like, but also tell you when and where to look for them? Well, there is such a device. It's called a planisphere or a star finder wheel! Join me as I explain what this is and how it works. Check out the graphics to see my well-used planisphere. Then, you can buy one or make your own.
