Dave Gee: Life from Right Field

Some New Zealand tv viewers know the brand "MySky" as a Tivo-lite style of Digital PVR (Personal Video Recorder).

But the new MySky from Meade is actually one of the hottest new astronomy gadgets... a handheld interactive Planatarium, giving even non-scientific minds a simple and revolutionary way to explore the universe.

The Meade MySky is just like having your own private astronomer, guiding you through the night sky and letting you instantly identify over 30,000 stars, planets, and asteroids at the click of a button.

The Meade MySky Personal Video Planetarium has a full-colour LCD screen, and can also control computerized Meade telescopes.

It's just one of the newest gadgets available over at OpticsPlanet.com, but the site also features a huge range of Telescopes, Digital Camera Binoculars (binoculars with a built in camera), Night Vision gear, and lots more cool stuff.
