SkyScout® Personal Planetarium
Point the revolutionary SkyScout at the night sky and it can identify celestial objects instantly. Using a combination of GPS technology, three-axis sensors that measure gravitational and magnetic fields, and its own astronomical database of more than 6,000 celestial objects, this incredible device knows exactly where you are on the planet and at precisely what angle you are holding the SkyScout. It uses this information to correctly identify the object in its sights. Alternatively you can choose from any of the constellations, galaxies, or nebulae in the database, and the SkyScout will direct you by using on-screen prompts to help you locate your selection with ease. It also provides astronomical information, historical data, and mythological background on the LED display. Listen to audio narration with the included earphones, and use the USB cable to download updates and new discoveries from your PC directly to the SkyScout. Winner of the Consumer Electronics Show Best of Innovation award for 2006. Two AA batteries, not included. 7 1/2''W x 2 1/2''L x 4''D.

Not available for shipment outside of the U.S. and Canada.
