Very cool, and great example of the wisdom in"measure twice, cut once."

I like how she left the protective backing on the inside to better reflect the LEDs. Very nice demo.

Cool tip to cut 1/2 circles and save materials.

Here is a star map that is accurate above me right now. Just can’t see it because that sun is just so bright!

Here’s a useful link to make your own. Just tweak what will display on the chart in regards to layers and luminosity.

Here is one with only magnitude 2 and lower stars, no planets.
