This works like a classic planisphere: the center point is directly overhead (the zenith), and the outer ring is your horizon. The compass letters around the edge show which way to face — so if a planet's dot sits near the "S" label about halfway to the center, look south and about halfway up the sky.
Positions are calculated from your latitude, longitude, and the current time using standard orbital elements for the Sun, Moon, and planets. Objects below the horizon (not currently visible) are listed in the table but won't appear on the chart itself. Drag the time slider to see how the sky will shift over the next twelve hours, or roll back to see what already set.
Note on precision: This chart is built for casual stargazing, not for pointing a telescope with arcsecond accuracy. Positions are typically accurate to within a degree or two — plenty to find a planet with the naked eye or binoculars.
