North at the top, east at the left — the sky-chart orientation, as if lying on your back looking up. Altitude rings at 30° and 60°; the rim is the horizon. The sun is up, so the plate shows the stars where they stand behind the daylight — Skyfield knows, even when you cannot see them. Hover any mark for its coordinates.

Bars span each body's time above the horizon; the ivory tick is the transit. Background bands are tonight's darkness: civil, nautical and astronomical twilight — the USNO geometric definitions.
