Presentation box was a nice surprise. 
The astrolabe was lovely at first sight. 
On further inspection I noticed the rete is a little warped relative to the madre edge - it stands just above the surface of the madre - and even every where else.
The trono hinge joint seems too loose - the pins feels like its already worn - but maybe thats my misunderstanding.
The instruction booklet is useless - that is to small to read and the pictures are too small to read. The instruction booklet could have been more explicit in the use and understanding of the astrolabe - and position of stars there in. This spoils an otherwise great astrolabe.

 		The astrolabe we ordered (the Ancient Astrolabe) is now on display in our exhibit space. 
What a beautiful piece- one we will use and treasure for many years. Very sturdy and easy to handle. An excellent learning tool for adults and children alike.

 		Arrived today 8th Oct 12, unfortunately the hanging clasp was broken, it looks as if it received a heavy drop as the stout box it was packed in was broken too, but otherwise very nicely made.
