ing the desired date on date dial with the desired hour on the time scale.
Time scale (fixed):
The Star disc tray needs to be open. Time from 20:00
(8 p.m.) to 02:00 (2 a.m.) is shown. Align the date dial with
the time scale to project stars at a particular time. Each
subdivision equals 30 minutes.
Date dial (adjustable):
The Star disc tray needs to be
open. The date dial has 365 days.
Adjust the dial to project the stars
you want to see from a particular
date. Each subdivision equals 2
days. The long mark corresponds
to the last day of the previous
month.
Example 1:
If you want to see the star pattern at midnight (00:00) on 7 July, align 00:00 on the time scale with
7 July. The 7 of July is between the 6 and the 8.
Example 2:
If you want to see the starry sky at 22:30 (10:30 p.m.) on 30 December, align 22:30 on the time scale with
30 December, as shown in the figure below. A small line represents 3 days.
