§.,£.&¨¤£. calendar and timepiece as long as you @,&¨@,§,#¨
&,#¤,@..§. know what year it is. every page is a #¨¤,@¨#.¤¨
§,,&.@,@£. grid of nine starfields, hand drawn, #¨&.§.£.¤¨
#¨@#,&¨.§¨ below which are written coordinates in ¤.#¨¤¨@.@.
#¨.#,#,¤§¨ both space and time. a lot of it is @.@.&¨@.£.
§.@#,&,,¤. applicable on earth, but not all. it #,&.§¨£.&¨
#.,£.£¨§£. hints of other places - some stars £.#.#¨@,&¨
£¨@¤¨#¨¨#¨ reordered, some names i have never §¨#.@¨&,@,
