I'll admit it -- I'm a space geek. I have ever since i was a kid watching the Apollo flights, especially the moon landing. Even now, I still get tingles every time I drive past Johnson Space Center, or when I remember that friends from church are honest-to-God rocket scientists.
And I love staring up at the stars. I just wish i knew more about which ones were which, and about identifying constellations. Well, the Meade MySky is the latest gadget out there to help the untrained stargazer access the knowledge base of an astronomer. It is a point-and-shoot star identifier with an LCD screen to help you identify what you are seeing in the heavens above. Not only is there that device, but also the Skyscout from Celestron, which is another personal planetarium for star lovers. The difference, however, is that the MySky is under $30 -- so you can actually put it int he hands of youngsters and other amateurs, rather than risking a device that is over $200.
