1000 pieces

27" x 20"

purchased new ($16) from Amazon

Difficulty level: moderate

I really want these 3000 and 6000 piece versions of the sky map, but they're out of print and really expensive and hard to find, so I settled for this 1000-piece one from Eurographics. I really like the cut of this one; like the Dalek puzzle this is more of a Springbok cut and has very few similar pieces, and hardly any of the standard "peg hole peg hole" shape that compose 90% of most puzzles.
