Features
Specifications

An incredibly sophisticated device and a quantum leap for many amateur observers, the Celestron SkyScout™ will change the way you view the celestial bodies.

Point the SkyScout™ at any bright star and it will instantly identify the object. Or alternatively, choose an object from the celestial database of over 6,000 objects and the SkyScout™ will guide you to it!

The SkyScout™ includes great information and stories about the most popular celestial objects, displayed in scrolling text and narrated with audio as well.

The SkyScout™ makes a great companion for camping and for explaining the skies to a child. It weighs under a pound and is smaller than a mini-DV camcorder.

• How It Works: SkyScout™ combines GPS technology(which gives time, date & user location) with software calculating positions of objects for that moment and 3 axis sensors measuring gravitational and magnetic fields to determine the true orientation of the SkyScout™ relative to the earth.

• "Tonight's Must-See List": When SkyScout™ is activated, it tells the user the 10 'coolest' things to observe that evening-employing internal GPS to automatically customize the information to the user's location.

• "Constellation Lessons": If the user is looking at a star that is a part of a constellation, the SkyScout™ informs the user of this, shows a picture of the constellation & helps the user locate the other stars of the constellation.

• Updatable Software & Data: A USB port is included for periodic updates of operating software, as well as the ability to download new data from celestial objects like the Space Shuttle or passing comets.

• SD SkyTour Content Cards: An SD card slot exists for additional content offerings, such as "Astronomy for Kids".

• Tripod-Mountable: The bottom of the device has a 1/4"-20 threaded socket so that it can be attached to a tripod, a telescope's piggypack camera mount, etc.
