Yes you are right Alan , but without learning a few bigger constilations in the sky ,,, how is anyone going to know where to even start looking for the planets , as you say they are always on the move , eg. Planets is latin for 'wandering stars' ? or something like that .

And a planesphere (well mine at least) does not include planets because they are not fixed in RA and Dec as i mentioned earlier.

But I agree these are essential for constellations and Deep Space Objects.
Which no doubt will be targets in the future.
