I have loved and wondered about the stars since I first saw them. The Hastings College Observatory fueled my desire to learn my way around the sky. I bought this for a niece - and kept it for myself!

Useful because the plates are oriented to the sky-position of the constellations, and the stars are rendered "as seen". Uses the "artistic" visualizations.
Compare to H. A. Rey's "The Stars".
