Your Personal Guide for Sky Exploration. |
|
mySKY is a fun, interactive, multi-media, hand-held guide to the universe that locates and identifies celestial objects in
the night sky. Featuring a full-color LCD screen and the added ability to control a Meade computerized telescope, mySKY is
clearly unlike anything else on the market.mySKY is the ultimate in simplicity: No knowledge of the night sky is needed. mySKY aligns itself without any input
from the user. Turn it on, point it at a celestial object, and pull the trigger to identify planets, stars, nebula, galaxies and
more – over 30,000 objects. Featuring open aiming sites that do not restrict your field of view, finding your target is easy.
Multi-media presentation on the full-color LCD screen: Your exploration starts with a simple video introduction of how to
use mySKY. Real-time, color SkyMaps guide you to the objects you want to locate. Sandy Wood, the familiar voice of StarDate
– a syndicated daily radio program, provides you with audio descriptions of the objects you have found. mySKY also takes
you on guided tours of the best objects in your sky -- tailored to your time, date and location.
The mySKY®PLUS includes new multimedia presentations with Hollywood-style video content on the planets and the Moon, as well as a
new more informative introduction and how-to guide on the operation of the product. Meade has refined the software to give the
user a trouble free and more entertaining exploration of the Universe. Gone is the lengthy wait for a GPS fix. Now in only a few
moments, the time, date and location can be easily entered and stored in the mySKY® internal clock and memory. It is
automatically retrieved the next time the mySKY is used, so you get started even faster.
