Planisphere

[Yidoboy]

I need some advice on where I can get hold of a decent planisphere.

It would appear to extremely hard to get the Philips version anymore so are there any other decent versions around?

Thanks people!

I actually bought mine yesterday (15th Jan) from WH Smith, altho it was £8. I know Waterstones do stock it, but it's listed as "Re-printing" and the staff just look at you when you as for it, so I just said "Star charts". Saw this one in WH Smiths yesterday, but it looked about 6 inches in diameter, Philips Mini Stargazer 3-in-1 binocular astronomy set (guide book, map & planisphere)

Hope it helps you any?

Blimey. I must have got one of the last Philips ones from Amazon. I ordered it a few days after Christmas.

You might want to look at the Global Mapping Planisphere which got a good review in January's Astronomy Now! And there are plenty in stock!
