Have you ever felt that you need more space? This staggering computer-controlled telescope has quite simply revolutionised stargazing. Just set it up (dead simple) and pick a star, comet, nebula, planet, asteroid, galaxy - you name it. It will then not only whirr away and find it, it will also track it, and at the click of a button give you tons of info on its size, distance, temperature, mass, population (not really), orbit, ad infinitum. |
| If that's not enough, you can click on 'Tonight's Best' and it will take you on a tour of the night's best celestial stuff! You can also point it randomly at the sky and it will tell you what you're looking at - as long as it's one of the 1470 mapped stars. It comes with two eyepieces, 25mm and 9mm, giving you 35x and 14x magnification respectively (the two pictures of the moon on this page were taken through these eyepieces).
