The meridian may be tilted to adjust the globe for latitude while the horizon ring indicates the actual horizon in relation to the point of observation on Earth. The Sun may be set by adjusting the sun knob located near the North Pole. Globe can be set to reflect constellation position according to time and place to show the actual positions of the stars.
