The SkyScout is a revolutionary handheld device that uses advanced GPS technology with point and click convenience to identify thousands of stars, planets, constellations and more.

Simply point the SkyScout at any star in the sky and click the target button. The SkyScout will tell you what object you are looking at.

This would have made passing that astronomy final a whole lot simpler. Link -via Geek Alerts

    Great idea, however, it’s so hard to find a good place with no light pollution to use this little device to its fullest potential.

    I have one of these things…got it for ‘free’ by cashing in some Amex points that were laying about. It’s good for settling backyard arguments, but it is *not* worth taking on hikes…

    Yes, but does it magnify? Probably not.

    hermit, unfortunately it’s not now programmed to recognize Ethel from across the way. Maybe 2.0.
