Our well-known double equatorial planisphere PLN-EQR, for the area around the equator (star charts for 10ºN and 10ºS), was first published in 2002, in the 'old' colours bright blue and black (text and lines). In those days full colour printing was too expensive. The last edition of that model PLN-EQR was published in 2010.

We still have plenty of stock left of that older model, but I saw an opportunity to realise the new FC model by combining it with the current productions of our main Dutch model PLN-NL. This one is also square (250 x 250 mm), when folded tot have 4 pages. It still is rather an expensive model, so the selling price will have to be raised considerably. But is will be far more wonderful! 

We are in the process of going over to FC planispheres for all the English models now, and this is a main step.

Below you see images of both sides (unfolded), with at the bottom the old PLN-EQR.


'DUMPING' THE OLDER 2-COLOUR PLN-EQR

We hope that the new model will be out in August, or else September 2024. This means that we need to find commercial customers for the older model, at a very sizable (75%)  discount! They will be sold for € 5.00 (Euro) per piece, for numbers as from 30 copies. 
This sale should also cover some of the cost of the new model. 

My dream would be when planetariums, observatories and schools in the poorer regions of our world would now be able to use and sell planispheres for their area!
