Description
The Celestaire Laminated Honest Star Chart is a simple and clear star chart used for astronomical navigation training. The chart shows the most important navigation stars and lines used to identify constellations in the night sky.
In sextant navigation, specific stars are used as reference points to calculate position at sea. To be able to identify these stars, the navigator must recognize the constellations and know where they are located in the sky. A star chart is therefore a useful tool for training in astro-navigation.
The Celestaire Honest Star Chart is designed to be easy to use. The chart shows only the most important stars and the lines of connection between them, making it easier to find the stars commonly used in astronomical navigation.
The map is laminated, making it more durable and better suited for use on board or in teaching. The lamination protects the map from moisture and wear, making it easy to use in maritime environments.
The star chart measures approximately 48 × 63 cm and is suitable both for courses in astronomical navigation and as a reference for sailors who want to learn more about navigating by the stars.
