## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this astrolabe come with different interchangeable latitude plates that I can use in my area, 38 degrees North? If no it would be useless to me.**
A: I have not purchased the unit, but I know a couple of things about astrolabes and that's a very clear photo.  First, they have multiple back plates ("climates") showing the celestial sphere at various latitudes.  The one pictured here is for 60 degrees North, which is perfect for someone in the Shetland islands or southern Alaska.  If you are at 38 degrees N, your star positions will be 22 degrees off.  You can still use it to find the height of Polaris, and therefore your latitude, but most of the other calculations will be off.

**Q: Can it be hung on a wall? Only interested in the appearance not the function.**
A: Mine came with a nicely-detailed appurtenance molded into the top of it with a bronze/brass ring through it.   The ring is quite suitable for hanging the piece anywhere - on a wall, in free space, in a glass dome, etc.

**Q: How large is this astrolabe?**
A: The diameter is approximately 10 cm (4") and it is about 1.7cm wide.Thanks,Pinkcatshop

**Q: Will this function in the USA?**
A: HelloThank you for your query.Only one plate is included with the Astrolabe and this corresponds to 50.5° of latitude. This latitude, in the north, passes through the bottom of Canada in North America. In Europe and Asia it passes through the middle of Germany and the Czech republic, the bottom of Poland and, from there, passes through the upper middle of Ukraine and Kazakhstan and across the top of Mongolia.In the Southern hemisphere 50.5° of latitude passes through the bottom of Chile and Argentina in South America and then just below New Zealand.Please note that this is a working replica that can be used for teaching purposes, however, it is not advised that this is used for actual navigation. It is an educational tool only.I hope that this helps.PinkCatShop
