The SkyScout is a handheld device that uses advanced GPS technology with point and click convenience to instantly 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 instantly tell you what object you are looking at. To locate a star or planet, select the object’s name from the menu and follow the directional arrows through the viewfinder. SkyScout tells you when you are on target. It’s that easy! The SkyScout also includes educational audio and text information, offering facts, trivia, history and mythology about our most popular celestial objects.
