Orthographic Celestial Sphere

DIY orthographic celestial sphere tracks our sun and constellations, year-round! This is my first attempt at an educational tool so I decided to fabricate Astronomical maps.  Once a Roman numeral (corresponding to a given month) "sets below the horizon" the remaining constellations would be visible until that number returns (daylight). I drilled extra holes to compensate for whatever latitude the viewer happens to be located.

*No planets, moons, satellites, or comets... sorry for the muggle inadequacies.
