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?
