Product description

Learn the night skies of the Northern Hemisphere with Celestron Sky Maps! This classic collection of seasonal star charts, topped off by a glow-in-the-dark luminous star finder, or planisphere, has been around for years and years! It continues to be so popular because beginning stargazers as well as seasoned amateur astronomers find that this book provides most everything they need to find constellations quickly and delve into seasonal night sky treasures with ease. The front cover of this publication will be used well and often! It is a planisphere—a rotatable star wheel that can be aligned with any date and time (past, present & future), resulting in a display of the night sky for that period of time. When the star finder is pre-exposed to light, all of the major stars will glow in the dark, mimicking the way they actually look in the night sky. Inside you will find a collection of more detailed star charts for each of the four seasons. The charts are clear and concise, allowing you to find objects in the sky with your binoculars or telescope by “star-hopping.” An illustrated reference section provides information on various types of objects. Celestron Sky Maps are made from 13-1/4” x 11-1/4” water-resistant, heavy-duty card stock for years of enjoyment and use. A plastic spiral comb holds the pages together securely, but allows them to lay completely flat for use in the field.

• Glow-in-the-dark planisphere tells you which constellations are up for any date or time, and at a moment’s notice!
• Seasonal star charts display the locations of the best deep-sky objects for summer, winter, spring, and autumn
• Heavy card stock with a protective overcoat holds up to years of use
• Plastic spiral binding lets star charts lay flat
• For use in the Northern Hemisphere only

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work at 30-35 N latitude
Answer:	The Star Finder may be used throughout the middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere; it is set for 40 degrees North Latitude.
Question:	Pls explain size discrepancy in the verbiage: celestron sky maps are made from 13-1/4” x 11-1/4” versus prod descr 8.8" x 5.2" x 1.5" - which is it
Answer:	Hello! The 11x 13 size is accurate. There are other publishers of similar products that may still be available, however the Celestron is by far the best. Cheers!
Question:	Does illuminate in the dark
Answer:	Yes, the Sky Map glows in the dark which tells you which constellations are up for any date or time, and at a moment’s notice. Sincerely, Garrett at Celestron
Question:	Does it show the planets? A reviewer said it doesn’t
Answer:	No, sorry! The planets apparent movement across the night sky have much different rates of motion than the stars across the night sky. The best way to try the planets is by using one of the many free or paid apps on a computer or smart device. Cheers!

User questions & answers

Question:	can this scope be used as a spotting scope for bird watching
Answer:	Excellent for bird-watching. At 20x, it's fine. At 40x (long distance) you may want a strudier tripod, and because it's daylight, you can look through the smaller 42mm hole (take off the little cap) in the dust cap and that will improve the sharpness at high power. If you want a better spotting scope, simply buy a fancy wide-angle/high-performance 1.25 eyepiece (super-plossl, etc), around 15 mm focal length.
Question:	You say that any tripod that I use for photography should work. Does that mean that I can screw my tripod head into the telescope
Answer:	Yes. As others have said, the tripod that comes with the telescope is reallllly flimsy. There are a couple of screw holes on the bottom of the telescope. I was able to attache the telescope to my other tripod using the detachable head on the tripod.
Question:	I'm a real beginner/plan to purchase this for my son so we can both explore the night sky, etc. Is it really easy to setup?/How long will it take
Answer:	The scope is really good for beginners and it is easy to set up. As others have said the the included tripod is small for portability and not very stable. If used fully "retracted" on the hood of a car for example, it's OK. I've used it with a Celestron 7.5MM eyepiece and a 2x barlow lens and it can still resolve the rings of Saturn on a clear night. It's not designed for that kind of magnification but for an inexpensive scope with simple lenses I was impressed. I wouldn't recommend trying that though until you have some practice on focus, finding objects in the sky, and purchasing a heavy duty camera tripod. You must remember even with the highest power eyepieces, which you only want to consider using for viewing planets, objects are really small which is due to it's 400mm focal length. Overall it's WAY better than spending 40-50 dollars on a cheap toy at the local discount store. Another good option comparable to this is the Orion 76mm Fun Scope. It's really only for table top use but it's easy to swivel up/down left/right. It is a reflector though and images don't appear as crisp in my opinion. You'll find out that half the quality of a telescope is how good the tripod or mounting set up is. For the price you can't go wrong with this scope. I own several telescopes from computer driven to large reflectors and still grab this for quick views of Orions belt, Jupiter, Saturn, the Moon, and star clusters like the double cluster and the Pleiades. Just to add to an already long answer, I added an inexpensive laser object finder (similar to the Celestron Star Finder) instead of the mostly useless viewfinder. It makes it ten times easier to point the scope at objects you're trying to look at and it doesn't take much modifications to get it screwed to the scope tube or stuck on with foam tape. Your son will thank you!
Question:	can i see with my left eye
Answer:	Only if you look at objects on the left....use right eye for objects on the right side....if its straight above you , you can use both eyes.
