SkyScout

Overview

This is the device amateur stargazers have been waiting for since, well, Galileo...
          - Popular Science Magazine

The Award-Winning SkyScout

is a revolutionary handheld device that uses advanced GPS technology with point and click convenience to identify thousands of stars, planets, constellations and more.

Identify

Simply point the SkyScout at any star in the sky and click the "target" button.

The SkyScout will tell you what object you are looking at.

Locate

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!

Learn

Once you have targeted an object the real fun begins.

The SkyScout includes entertaining and educational audio and text information, including facts, trivia, history and mythology about our most popular celestial objects.

A fun learning tool for all ages, the SkyScout personal planetarium puts the knowledge of an expert astronomer in the palm of your hand.

The Return of Mars

The Return of Mars

For more than 8 months I documentated the pathway of the Red Planet from the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic between Aldebaran and the Plejades up to Castor and Pollux in the Gemini.

The whole mosaic of the movement of Mars is now a part of the movie "The Return of Mars".
