If you want a BIGUN, David Levy's planisphere is big and good.


We looked at the Levy, and it is big. However, it didn't have much more
detail than smaller ones, and was just more spread out. Given this, we
bought the Firefly, which has a lot more stars and all of the Messier
objects plus other stuff. Well, I have to admit that my eyes ain't getting
any better, and the Firefly is hard for me to read at night, even with a
magnifying glass. My sons have less of a problem with it. I would like to
give Levy's a try at night, and so will be on the lookout for it at star
parties.
