Hi guys,

some time ago I saw a special planisphere (a star chart that can be
adjusted to display the night sky for any given latitude, time and
date) on a website but I forgot the link.

The special of this planisphere was the implemented moon phases on the
edge of the map.
There were several moon phases (more then 20) around the map
(circumferential) to see the changing moon phase for the given date
and time.

Here is an example for a planisphere, but without moon phases.
-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planisphere

I think the special planisphere came from USA but I am not sure. I
forgot name and link.
Does anybody know the planisphere with implemented moon phases?
I couldn't find it with google.

Many thanks in advance!

Clear Skies!
Bernd

Hmmm, using "moon phase planisphere" to Google found this quickly:

it costs Rs.99 -- I have no idea what currency that is.

in English but its out of Germany. it can also be set for whatever
amount of sky you want to see and actually can show photos of nebula
and galaxies.

PS go to the deep sky map, and you should create an account "they
don't want your personal info" so you can put in your Lat Long.

Going by the flag on the home page, I'd say rupees. Pretty cheap at
the price.

Good catch! The address in Mumbai cinches it. Smile
