Abstract:
The Sky Dial is a North Star based celestial observatory for measuring the position of celestial objects. This celestial observatory, when aimed at the North Star, creates a grid of stationary reference lines which divide the entire visible sky into near isosceles trapezoid shapes that can be identified by their grid coordinates, Ring Number and Hour Number. The Sky Dial allows people to observe celestial objects, and easily assign them a set of coordinates defining their current position. By comparing the grid positions of an object at different times, users can witness that all the stars rotate counter-clockwise around the North Star once every twenty-four hours, or 15 degrees per hour, and that distance from the North Star, called the ring, never changes. The Sky Dial can be used to measure the passage of time during the night just as a Sun Dial can do during the day.

Claim (Index 2):
An embodiment of the device of  claim 1  in the form of a celestial observatory comprising:\n (a) a aiming tube; \n (b) a wheel formed by twenty-four hour spokes of equal length and patterned in a geometric plane, extending outward from one end of said aiming tube, perpendicular to the length of said aiming tube, and evenly fanned out at fifteen degree intervals; \n (c) a vertex tube positioned in line with a aiming tube; \n (d) a set of fifteen hour strings equal in length and extending from the outer tips of the said twenty-four hour spokes to said vertex tube; \n (e) a viewing ball comprised of a plurality of crossed rings positioned between and in line with said aiming tube and said vertex tube,\n whereby a person gazing through said viewing ball can see a distant object past the hour spokes and hour strings, and can describe the position of that distant object by noting between which of the twenty-four hour spokes or fifteen hour strings the object appears.
