- The chart is centered on the zenith, with the horizon as its outer ring; east appears on the left, as on planispheres.
Field notes
The generator accepts a city or manually entered coordinates, and says it sets local time zones—including daylight saving—from the selected city. Its chart uses the zenith as its center and the horizon as the outer ring; the page explains that east is on the left to match the view of the sky from below. Planet positions are calculated using a low-precision method, which the site describes as accurate to a couple of arcminutes.
