Review: A really useful night-time planisphere - This planisphere is easy to use and very clear - and it can be used in the dark, unlike the more common, but more comprehensively marked and more cluttered, Philip's planisphere. This planishpere has a white background with dark star markings making it easy to use and read by red light at night. (The Philip's has a black background with white star markings.) A limited number, A to J, of visible (binocular) objects are suggested and marked. A list of Meteor Showers and dates is also included. Using this planisphere at night is really practical and I can recommend it. (I do also use a Philip's but only in the daytime and for comparison purposes.) Four stars rather than five because it is a bit expensive in the UK, and I would like just a couple more markings, eg, 0/24Hr Right Ascension reference line and Zenith Point, but well worth buying for usability. Review: This is not what I ordered. - I am extremely disappointed. I thought I had ordered David Levy's Guide to the Stars.. a professional quality Planisphere but what arrived is the cardboard child's version which normally retails for a much lower price. The correct version is plastic and has a lot of star and Messier information but this is just card and without a pivot pin.. it goes to bed at 10pm and is clearly a childs toy. Looking at the reviews, most of them describe the proper item and the cardboard version is clearly a substitute put on the original page.. looking now, the image at the top of the review page is the professional model. I would not have ordered the childs version and rather suspect that the front page has been changed retrospectively... this is very bad. desertcart did not publish my first attempt.. but this review is about the article and nothing to do with the packaging. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,289,118 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 507 in Stars & Interstellar Matter 29,288 in Nature | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,917) | | Dimensions | 0.32 x 40.64 x 40.64 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1928771017 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1928771012 | | Item weight | 0.28 g | | Language | English | | Publication date | 1 Dec. 2000 | | Publisher | Ken Pr | ## Images ![David H.

I was very pleased to discover that both of the moveable parts are made of plastic, so if they are caught in the rain with it, it won't disintegrate. It was bought for Christmas, so they haven't tried it out yet, but from what I can tell, the operating instructions are both easily understood and found on the front. I like the white background for the star chart. The back of it has a lot of interesting tidbits of stellar data. I will buy this again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Guide to the Stars - National Geographic Backyard Guide to the Night Sky, 2nd Edition - National Geographic Stargazer's Atlas: The Ultimate Guide to the Night Sky --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/346690757-david-h-levys-guide-to-the-stars](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/346690757-david-h-levys-guide-to-the-stars) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
