Got mine an week ago from here scopesnskies for £6.99 they're now £7.99 and out of stock!

[LukeSkywatcher]

None to be found here in Dublin. I had one on order (to hang on my wall) and i get an email from the shop saying they were out of stock, Phillips dont publish them anymore and i might get one if i try a shop that deals in rare publications.

I downloaded the template and made this one! It's Canadian but I read somewhere that it should work pretty well in the UK with us being on a similar latitude to most of Canada??

Haven't had a clear night here yet though so not actually tested it outside, only against the view generated using 'Stellarium'. It seemed pretty accurate against the software though.............

I was trying to find that link. I found it last year but lost the link.

Thanks.

You can customise it for your own latitude

Job done.

Planisphere

Try The Society for Popular Astronomy the Society for Popular Astronomy. "Some suppliers may be out of stock of planispheres, but we're selling them for under £8 in the SPA Bookshop! Books from the SPA #bbcstargazing "

[glowjet]

Most large City book shops have them in their Astronomy section, although I agree there has been that many folks watching the programs, they may have run out as well, worth a try though.

We offer the David Chandler Night Sky planisphere. It is not the cheapest but it is generally regarded as the best and is in stock.

HTH,
