Well its fine to have Stellarium software but I would love a star globe I can hold in my hands. With special reference to the navigational stars. And constellation lines to help orient one self and some course RA/DEC coordinates. Here is one that is basically polyhedral and printed on card with images from stellarium. https://public.websites.umich.edu/~jimw/Skyglobe/index.htm Surely there is some way to do better in this age of laser cutting and 3D printing? Or maybe just print out small enough segments that we could glue them on a sphere as though it was flat. Any ideas? Bill Lionheart
