Edmund Scientific Star and Planet Locator

A basic planisphere printed on weak stock. The rivet hasn't torn out yet but the corners of all the windows tear easily. A little tape and it's all good.

The star locator is a must for any amateur skywatcher. As far as being a planet locator, forget it. On the back is a chart which gives you the active month for the planet's appearance in the sky for out of date years. I bought the locator in 2010, but the planet chart was only good from 2003 to 2006. Not a big deal for me though since I use it only for the annual star locations. I highly recommend!

I teach a college level Introduction to Astronomy course and have my students purchase this for the course. It is very helpful in the planetarium sessions as well as outside observing. It is easy to read and understand. Excellent night sky reference!

My just-turned 7-yr. old went to a presentation about the night sky and was fascinated. We are learning about moon rise and the moon cycle. Now we want to look for other things in the night sky when we are out by the campfire and are using this to help.

easy to use. I had to get it for class and missed the day he taught us how to use it but it is so simple I figured it out on my own.

Content with product. Prompt service.

Out of date. Meant for 2007-2010, the data is slightly off for 2018.

Used for my course.

Not exactly dew or weather proof, plastic laminated would have been better, ait expensive for what it is.

It was fine. I did not find any problem. It was delivered to my house and I am satisfied. ok
