Star Tracker
While up at the local supermarket getting a few things to tie me over, on
one of those odds and ends sale tables near the door, I spotted on top something by the above name, at a whooping $1.69 I got it and came home with it. Why? Because it looked usefull! Now what it is: It is a handle that go up and has a 1/2 circle, this handle holds 2 AAA batties. The top part is made to hold some clear plastic disks that have holes in them, it seems you turn it on and the holes catch the faint light and you see a constellation on it and you aline that with what you see in the sky, thereby finding the constellation. They have five disks, for : Big Dipper, Orion, Leo, Cygnus, Cassiopeia. It also comes with a glow in the dark Star Wheel (planetsphear?). I've got to pick up some batterys, but for something real simple, it dose look usefull. -- The Lone Sidewalk Astronomer of Rosamond Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord Astronomy Net Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/astronomy_net In Garden Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/ingarden Blast Off Online Gift Shop http://www.cafepress.com/starlords |
