The Handheld Instant Star and Constellation Identifier. at Hammacher Schlemmer

Description

Recipient of the prestigious Consumer Electronics Show Innovation Award, this is the SkyScoutTM handheld device named an Editor's Choice by Popular Mechanics that instantly identifies over 6,000 celestial objects at the touch of a button when aimed at any section of the night sky. Unlike complicated software that requires proximity to a computer, or traditional telescopes that must be continually adjusted, this device uses a combination of automatic GPS-locating and three axis sensors measuring gravitational and magnetic fields, in addition to its own extensive built-in digital astronomy database, to establish its current position, eliminating the need to consult star charts and constantly adjust for location and time changes.
