The Celestron SkyScout The Handheld Instant Star and Constellation Identifier
An Popular Mechanics Editor’s Choice and a recipient of the prestigious Consumer Electronics Show Innovation Award instantly identifies over 6,000 celestial objects with on touch precision. Easy setup no complicated software to install and learn, no telescope to constantly adjust or star charts to pour over. Skyscout utilizes a combination of automatic GPS-locating and three axis sensors measuring gravitational and magnetic fields, in addition to its own extensive built-in astronomy database, to establish its current position, eliminating the need to constantly adjust for location and time changes. A tracking button helps you locate a specific object by selecting it and following the onscreen prompts, while a highlight option provides suggestions for the best viewing date and time based on your current location. The name, distance, history, trivia, and mythology or the selected star is relayed to the user through audio and text presentations via the built-in speaker and LCD screen. The unit has a high-impact resistant plastic casing has rubber armor for worry-free outdoors use. About the size of a paperback novel and weighing in at less than one pound this is an awesome gift for yourself or your favorite mobile star-hunter (that would be a cool name for a video game!). You can pick The SkyScout up here.
