(More customer reviews)It is very detailed. As it says, it's very similar to the stars you actually see in the sky.
It works as follows: there is an outter dial with the days of the year, and an inner dial with the hours of day. By aligning them, it is easy to see the stars that are on the sky at any day (night) and hour.
One side faces North and the other side faces South. It has the star coordinate system (the one in hours and degrees), so you can find planets, if you have a table that tells you where to look.
I think you should complement this with a book, such as "40 Nights to Knowing the Sky", in order to know what you are seeing.

The Night Sky is a rotating star finder - or planisphere that allows the user to recognize the constellations for any time of night, any day of the year. The sky appears to rotate (due to the rotation and orbital motion of the earth), so to be successful recognizing the constellations a beginner needs to know which stars are above the horizon at any time. This is the full-sized version of The Night Sky suitable for the 20Â-30Â latitude zone (Florida, Caribbean, S.Texas, Hawaii). THere are versions for the following latitude zones: 50Â-60Â, 40Â-50Â, 30Â-40Â, 20Â-30Â, and the Southern Hemisphere. There are also pocket-sized versions available for the same latitude zones.
