INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLING UNCLE AL’S KEPLER STAR WHEELS
Step 1: Copy Star Wheel and Star Wheel Holder pages on heavy card- Step 3: On the Star Wheel Holder, stock or use glue stick or doublestick tape to adhere the pages fold along the 3 dotted lines. onto a file folder or heavy cardstock. Step 4: Tape the sides so that the Star Wheel Holder forms a Step 2: Cut along the solid outer circle of the Star Wheel and along the pocket for the Star Wheel to go into. solid lines on the Star Wheel Holder, removing the grid areas. Step 5: Place the Star Wheel in the Star Wheel Holder.

1. Align your date and time, and then look up at the sky 2. Locate the constellation you want to find on the map. 3. Turn your map so the horizon it is closest to is at the bottom. 4. The star positions in the sky should match those on the wheel.
