sky-scout-hand-held-star-identifierIf you have a budding astrologer in the family, here is a perfect gift.

The Handheld Instant Star and Constellation Identifier received the prestigious Consumer Electronics Show Innovation Award and was named as Editor’s Choice by Popular Mechanics.

SkyScout instantly identifies over 6,000 celestial objects at the touch of a button when aimed at any section of the night sky. You don’t need to continually adjust the device as you do with a traditional telescope

It uses a combination of automatic GPS-locating and three axis sensors measuring gravitational and magnetic fields and it also has its own extensive built-in digital astronomy database, to establish its current position.

Consulting star charts and constantly adjusting for location and time changes has become a thing of the past.
