If you are an astronomy passionate here is something interesting for you: a new electronic device produced by Meade Instruments was launched by OPT with the capability to detect thousands of objects in the night sky.
Meade mySKY is in the same time fun, interactive and multimedia handheld device that guides to the universe.

It features a color LCD display and after it is turned on it aligns itself without the need of user input.
If you point it to a celestial object and pull the trigger it starts to identify the planets, stars, nebulae and galaxies, having a 30,000 objects database with images and audio description.



Made mySKY is an advanced astronomy device coming from one of the leaders in astronomy devices manufacturing and comes with a 12-channel GPS receiver that finds the exact location with date and time, a magnetic compass for the north and electronic accelerometers for the pointing location.

You could use it also with a Meade computerized telescope by connecting it for advanced telescope functionality.
Meade mySKY will be available in February.
