Celestron Sky Scout

Here's a magical new product I heard about on the radio this morning. And a review.

The trouble with star spotting is that, well they all pretty much look the same... Enter US company Celestron which has just unveiled a very neat little gadget called the Sky Scout... [and] enables the user to name the stars and planets they are looking at.

The camcorder sized device uses GPS to pinpoint where the user is and where they are looking at and then accesses the information on the star/planet via its database which has details on 6000 celestial objects.

As most of you know, space freaks me out. But this sounds darn cool.
