That must be a gold-plated planisphere with diamonds for stars. A steal at that price!

Don't forget the BONUS listed in the description, you can calculate sunrise and sunset for any particular day lol. It needs to be gold plated and diamond encrusted for that kind of money as michael w said.

Yes:

Once you have your planisphere, all you will need is a small flashlight with a piece of red celluloid taped over the lens. This set-up will allow you to look at your planisphere without ruining your night vision. For a mere £672 extra we can supply the flashlight and the tape, The red celluloid comes at an additional cost of £1,275.

Ok. Not quoted 100% correctly......
