A csillagos ég Közép-Európa számára
Hungarian, rotating star map that used to serve the popularization of astronomical knowledge. Its editor was Radó Kövesligethy. It was published in 2000 copies in Hungarian, but German and Croatian versions were also issued. In the front of the windowed, pressed paperboard holder on black background golden writing and secessionist decoration and on the backside the instructions can be found. Placed into this is the rotatable sheet that, after setting the day and hour in the oval window, shows the constellations - at the given time at the 47°30'N latitude, that is in Budapest. The brightest stars, the more significant constellations and the major parallels of latitude are indicated. Considering that it was prepared for educational use, it is extremely rare (in good condition, almost impossible to find). Dimension: 260 mm.
