Celestron SkyScout has been tested in all kinds of weather conditions and it has survived them all! You can take this wonderful gadget to a breezy terrain or a humid forest; it would give you the same excellent performance as it is expected to. SkyScout is so compact, about a size of a camcorder, it could easily fit into your back pack making it perfect for outdoor expeditions.
The SkyScout has a vast database which has information about more than 50,000 celestial objects, planets and stars. These objects include the ones visible by the naked eye. As soon as you switch on the device, its GPS technology tracks your position on the Earth and the time and date of the observation. It makes learning your way around the sky much easier. It converts the night sky into your personal planetarium!
The ‘Best Star Finder’, according to the Reader’s digest magazine, the SkyScout’s ‘point and shoot’ technology makes it very convenient to select a visible object in the sky and read a scrolling commentary about that object with the help of SkyScout’s 5-line illuminated display. You can also hear the illuminated display with compact earphones without taking your eyes away from the object. An optional speaker can be plugged into the earphone output so that a group of people can hear the comments simultaneously.
The SkyScout’s enormous database also includes audio lessons on history and origin of astronomy, text biographies on some of the greatest astronomers, a dictionary of celestial terms, scientific details of over 50,000 space objects and text descriptions of some of the man made space objects like satellites, telescopes, space shuttles etc. and text images of some of the famous comets.
You can update its database by downloading latest information about celestial objects, from the internet. The SkyScout is powered by two AA batteries which could run up to 6 hours of continual operation.
For $199.99, SkyScout is a fun and entertaining device for all ages, especially for youngsters. They can learn at their own pace making self learning much simpler. And for stargazers like me, it’s just the tool to enjoy the splendors of the skies!
