Sky Publishing planisphere

Earlier today, I ordered one of the new Sky Publishing planispheres,
advertised in the last couple of issues of Sky and Telescope. I bought
the one for 40 degrees. Does anyone else have one of these?

The reason I ask is that the example depicted in the ad seems to show a
minor printing error: The declination hash marks for +30 and +60 seem
to be too low. For example, Izar (epsilon Bootis) has a declination of
+27, yet it appears to be *north* of the hash mark for +30. A similar
problem appears at +60. The hash marks for the equator and -30 seem to
be pretty close. Can anyone who has a specimen confirm or deny this
apparent misprint?

The hash marks on mine are in the right place.

Sky Publishing be afraid, be very afraid. Brian is going to go all
Byron Elbows upside your head.

Howee, were the batteries included?

You bet. It's the special 15V job also used in the Lafayette Radio
multimeter I bought in 1964. There's just enough amperage to keep the dial
spinning for a full two nights of marathon observing. Speaking of which,
think the Mets can hold their 6-3 lead?

Shhh! Don't let on. Otherwise I'll have to change my nigh-super-hero
alter ego.
