ABSTRACT:
An astronomical correlator for determining the position of the stars and method of using the same includes a transparent hollow globe having phosphorescent indicia. A horizon ring member and a latitude scale member can be utilized for defining the field of view of the night sky in correlation with the date and time. A flash light assembly can activate phosphorescent material, both on the transparent globe and on an alignment assembly, that permits a sighting by the observer of the night sky through the globe for determining the identification of stars.
