The Easy Way to Identify a Star
Easily held in the palm of your hand, the Star Pocket provides quick and simple identification of stars by comparing them against a tiny illuminated built-in star map. An integrated compass provides alignment for two setting scales, one for the hour of the day or night, the other for the month and approximate date. Pressing a button illuminates the star map to one eye while the other looks at the real thing in the sky at the same size, same shape. It will locate and identify 70 maps for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, plus 4 templates for adjusting latitude clipped underneath the compass.
