Description
A bit more of a close up, the magnifying glass helps read the crazy small text to set the day and month to set the astrolabe. You align it to north with the built in compass and when the date is set you can use it to find all the star positions. A fun toy

If it can tell time too (because I need an actual time peice) I know I'd either buy it or con some helpless family member into getting it for me for my birthday.
