Hello Sundial List Members,
If you have any interest in astrolabes you should know about the personal
astrolabes produced and sold by JANUS, 9 Bigelow Road, New Fairfield, CT
06812 USA. James E. Morrison is president of the company.
Recently I purchased two personal astrolabes from JANUS for $33.45 (US),
including shipping. For this modest price I received personalized Classic
and Modern astrolabes, plus a 54 page, well-illustrated instruction manual.
The astrolabes are printed on very heavy paper and laminated with plastic.
They measure about 18 cm in diameter. The printing on the astrolabes is
very detailed and clear, and these seem to be good learning aids. I am
delighted with what I received for my money.
You can find out more from the webpage

Note: I have no connection whatsoever with James Morrison or with JANUS.
