ABSTRACT:
A multipotent astrolabe is used to determine the positions of various celestial bodies by applying the circular star atlas and taking into account ephemeral time and the porjections of the relative positions of the moon, the sun and the stars as viewed from the earth. In addition, the positions of the planets of the solar system are included in the multipotent astrolabe to increase the utility of this instrument in the domain of skywatching.
