Stars are shown in six different orders of magnitude depending on the size and the Flamsteed designations of the star classes within a constellation are given. The ecliptic, zodiac, and equatorial lines are all shown.

The horizon band has an engraved paper calendar and zodiac graduated in degrees with wind directions.
