Guide to Building and Using an Astrolabe for Stargazing

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on creating a simple astrolabe to observe the night sky. Start by drawing lines from the top right corner through specific marks on your constructed device. Tie a paperclip to approximately 9 inches of thread to enhance your measurements. For the next ten days, venture outside between 8:00 to 9:00 PM to explore and identify notable celestial objects such as Orion, Sirius, Taurus, the Big Dipper, the Little Dipper, the Pleiades, as well as Jupiter and Saturn during specific times.
