Tirion Double-Sided Multi-Latitude Planisphere
Navigate the night sky with confidence—any time of year, from a wide range of northern hemisphere latitudes. The Tirion Double-Sided Multi-Latitude Planisphere is a precision star chart designed to help you quickly identify which stars, constellations, and celestial objects are visible from your location.
Created by renowned celestial cartographer Wil Tirion, this planisphere features a double-sided design that significantly reduces distortion common to traditional star charts. Each side is optimized for viewing either the northern or southern sky, providing clearer, more accurate representations across multiple latitudes.
Crafted from durable plastic and secured with no-corrosion brass rivets, this planisphere is built for years of regular use—whether you’re observing from your backyard, a campsite, or a dark-sky site.
