I found this website opticsplanet.com that has a wide range of gadgets and unusual gifts including telescopes, microscopes, binoculars and star spotting scopes. One item that I found particularly interesting was the Meade MySky, a device which is basically a personal planetarium, similar to the skyscout. It is hand-held devices that has a point and shoot identification system to guide you through the night sky so you know exactly what it is you are looking at. Basically you just point it at a celestial object, pull the trigger and the device will till you what it is. It also has a full colour LCD screen and a computerised telescope. It hasn’t been released yet but you can pre-order the item online with free delivery.
