The Southern Night Sky: A Glow-in-the-Dark Guide to Prominent Stars & Constellations South of the Equator (A Pocket Naturalist Guide)

this is an excellent piece of equipment,for guidance to the night sky,i am a beginner star gazer,i live in the southern hemisphere,and there was the correct one for me...

Easy to use and compact to fit in a pocket. We are planning on going on a 17 day South America cruise and this is an ideal solution to see the Southern Sky on top deck in the quiet of the evening. For the price it is a bargain.

I took this, along with East Africa Wildlife and East Africa Birds, on a 21-day safari to Kenya and Tanzania. I'd wanted to see the Southern sky with a guide that allowed me to pick out the constellations easily, and that would not require me turning on a flashlight to see and then become blind to the stars themselves. Unfortunately, we had a gibbous and then full moon to hide the stars until the very end (no fault in the stars/guide), but those last few nights I was able to identify several key constellations, having figured out a couple of significant ones to key from. I gave this to our trip leader at the end as a gift. I brought along a couple more and had given them to other guides along the way, and to one of the schools our group supported that we visited. One "star" is missing from my review because it proved challenging to figure out exactly how to align this at <5deg. lat. -- in early October, exactly between the two orientation months supplied -- and find a keystone star to gage the others from. It would be very, very helpful to have some kind of guidance on which stars to zero in on and how -- at various latitudes and months. I'd suggest that anyone using this NOT in June or December, and at equatorial latitudes, use a separate guide to become oriented in advance, then use this at "time-of" to spot these amazing constellations. Meantime, this was the best guide I found for the purpose. And it was VERY welcomed as a gift when I got there!

Very happy with this so informative about the different formations and how they got their names

A bit harder to use than the traditional planispheres. Glow in dark feature requires and incandescent light bulb. LED flashlights don't have right wavelength of light to excite the glow in the dark paint used in the chart print.

I got this for daughter traveling to South Africa. She was glad it glowed in the dark!

you need a Glow-in-the-dark Guide to the stars! Small, and won't take up too much room. This makes a great gift.

Perfect size for a suitcase or a coat pocket. Can't wait to see how it works.

Proof of flat earth right here. There is no way if we circle the sun that we could see the same stars all year round. If we were circling the sun the sun would make most of the stars around the earth invisible. If it were the case would only be able to see the stars on the dark side of the earth and as we circle the sun we should see new stars like the light of a lighthouse illuminates the sky around it as it rotates around the lighthouse. This cycle should repeat each year. Instead we see the same stars from earth throughout the year. The "establishment" has suppressed extensive empirical and scientific evidence of a stationary, flat earth; The curve is supposed to be 66feet over 10miles but is apparent nowhere and we can see beyond that distance. Corsica can be seen from 137miles away. The suez canal is 100 miles long and has no locks. All stars revolve around Polaris, the North/Pole Star. If we were on a ball circling the sun we should see new stars every day for a year as a lighthouse illuminates the sky surrounding it. The cycle should repeat every year. At any one time the majority of space should be invisible due to the sun's light. Instead we see the same stars from somewhere on earth throughout the year. Tides are not uniform and do not affect lakes. Tides and the seasons are central to feeding and reproduction. Pilots and engineers do not account for the curve. Gyroscopes show the earth is still. The cycle of the moon bears no correlation to that of the sun. It's logical that surface water cannot curve as we are told is the case over vast oceans. Ships that disappear over the horizon come back into view with telescopes. There is no 24hour sunlight in the south pole. Antarctica is 30degrees colder than the arctic. It is the coldest place on earth with a low of -90 degrees C. Admiral Byrd went with 4700 troops in OPERATION HIGH JUMP. Planes smashed into invisible "barriers" and it got closed off to the public. In 1875 hms Challenger "circumnavigated" the Antarctic. It took 69,000miles. The circumference of God's earth is 52,800miles. They would have gone 5 times round the fake Antarctica. Many sailors died because they were assuming the globe model and in fact the Longitude's are longer in the southern hemisphere so thinking they had travelled round land they ended up hitting it! The Arctic circle is 66.6 degrees north. The Antarctic Circle is 66.6 degrees south. 666 is the number of the devil. It has circular coastline, there's a Deception Island, Elephant Island and Enderby Land. Weddell Sea (hell), Ellsworth mountains (hell). It was explored in 1911. Amundsen reached the centre in 1911. 911 being a satanic number. It has places called Titan Dome, Law Dome, Dome Charlie and Dome Argus. A Sentinel Range. The Abyssal plains at the floors of the oceans are flat. Fake moon landings; Who took the footage from the moon when the astronauts got out and into the space ship. Why was there no dust on the "spaceship"? How does a rocket work in space with no oxygen. Scientists say the Van Allen Belt above the earth is impenetrable. How does a jet work in a vacuum. We are not spinning. See Edward Hendrie(2016) and Casper Stith(2017) for more flat earth evidence.

This glow in the dark chart shows me what I'm looking at in the night sky and by doing so I am learning a lot just by looking up.

Esta guía es de escasa utilidad como instrumento de campo para un desconocedor explorador de los cielos del hemisferio sur. Con esta guía difícilmente puede apoyarse en el descubrimiento de las constelaciones y estrellas australes. Mucho más útil sin duda el libro de Heifetz y Tirion "A Walk through the Southern Sky".

A brilliant guide for the Southern night sky.

Looks like a book but it’s actually just a laminated card leaflet. A bit of fun really. One side shows constellations in June and December the other a description of groups of stars. I’m looking forward to seeing the real thing later this year.
