A valuable tool for novice and advanced stargazers.

A simple key on the back of the Firefly Planisphere describes star magnitudes for finding stars from magnitude 0-1 (large) to 4 (small). Planetary Tables provide at-a-glance coordinates for locating the brightest planets in the sky from 2004 until 2011: Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The Firefly Planisphere even shows the time of sunrise and sunset for each day.
An easy-to-read instructional booklet is included that describes how to use the planisphere. The booklet and planisphere are packaged in a protective plastic envelope.
