Two combined nocturnals, sundials and lunar volvelles, by Linge de Foy, 16th century

This navigation tool was used to calculate time at night. Similar to an astrolabe or a sundial clock. A pointer, much like a hand on a  clock, determines the time at night based on the position of the North  Star in relation to another constellation, such as Ursa Minor (the  Little Dipper).
