Talk:Mariner's astrolabe

message: It appears that a reference was made to a navigational tool called a "Stratocaster".  I cannot find any evidence that this is anything but a marketing name for Fender Guitars, which built upon the name "Telecaster" and has no other significance.  Would suggest removal of the reference. Since I have no expertise in the subject, I did not want to make the edit.

message: In this section it says:
:“In 1988, only 65 were known to exist.[8] (...) [4] The Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History in Texas, United States, contains the world's oldest mariner's astrolabes with a confirmed date of 1554,(...) [9] An astrolabe dated between 1495 and 1500 was discovered in the wreck of the Portuguese explorer Esmeralda off the coast of Oman in 2014.[10]”
The text gives 65 as the number of still existing old astrolabes in 1988, the 2017 BBC-article (about the sunken Esmeralda) gives 108 as the number catalogued ((...) “this is only the 108th to be confirmed catalogued. It is also the earliest known example by several decades.”). The Corpus Christi Museum in Texas used to contain the world's oldest but is this now no  longer the case.
I changed the text accordingly.--Gerard1453 (talk) 17:47, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Hello Fellow Wikipedians,
I have evaluated this article in part for a class on the history of science. I believe that the usage section can be fleshed out more with some details on how the Mariner's astrolabe is used. The introduction also refers to the astrolabe being called a "ring", yet nowhere else in the article does the justification for this name stand out.
