IMPORTANT: Be careful that the protrusions on
the holder (11) catch on the notches of the slide
plates (10) (Fig. 5).
Now you must enter the time and date for the
night sky that you would like to see with your
Astro-Planetarium (observation time span). To
do this, turn the knob for setting the date (5) until
the desired date appears under the time on the
time scale (6) (Fig. 6).

INFO: The stars, planets, etc, are always diffe-
rently positioned in the sky because the Earth is
rotating. That is what it is not always possible to
see all objects. For this reason, it is important that
you always set the correct date and time before
starting a projection with your Astro-Planetarium.

With the date scale of the knob, you can set the
365 days of the year according to the month. At

sponds to 2 days (Fig. 8). The long lines always
represent the last day of the previous month;
underneath, the respective following month is
always given.
