Having a difficult time figuring out what to buy for your favorite astronomer in the family? The Orion Planisphere Watch is the perfect choice. The face is a working mini planisphere, and the star chart glows in the dark.

I purchased the Orion Planisphere watch and it is nice It really works, I like it, but it covers latitudes 35-50. It leaves out over 1/2 the U.S. population in the south. It does cover 90% of the population of Canada. If it would have started at 30-50 like the Star Target Planisphere sold by Orion it would cover 90% of the U.S.and Canada population. It would have been nice if they would have thought the design out better. I live at 29 and my entire state of Texas is pretty much left out like most southern states.
