CES: Telescope Features On Board Map Gadget
One of Vixen’s huge reflector telescopes has one feature that made it perfect for the Consumer Electronics show.
Attached to the telescope is a mini map so that astronomers can point directly where they want to look, and actually know what is there.
So instead of looking at star charts and compasses, the device has a sort of Google SkyMap wired right in, including pictures of what astronomers should spot at the other end.
At around $12,000, the gadget isn’t for the novice, but for anyone who really, really likes space, it could be a great time and effort saving device.
