Summary: The Best Planisphere
Comment: Although a planisphere is usually meant for beginners, it is a quick and easy way for even experienced observers to see "what's up" at a given day and time without firing up the computer.
The difference with this one, which I quite like, is the "low distortion" idea - it better represents what the eye sees, which is particularly useful when learning the constellations.
My only complaint - I wish the South facing view was the larger, as there are more interesting things to see in that direction.

Summary: Great for Planning a Night of Viewing
Comment: Even though the Night Sky chart is primarily of use to novices, intermediate and advanced viewers will find it useful for planning a night's viewing activity, primarily determining what objects are visible at what time. This kind of information is not easy to get directly from star charts. With a customized, time ordered checklist and a computerized telescope (plus good conditions), it's easily possible to view over 100 objects in a few hours.

Summary: Compact if a bit on the sparse side
Comment: I guess I can't complain given the compact size of this chart but I rather quickly outgrew it. Very good for learning the general constellations and locating all the major landmarks in the sky.
