Gazing upwards on a cloudless dark night to see a sky filled with countless twinkling stars never fails to fill me with wonderment.

But if I'm brutally honest, my knowledge of astronomy stretches little further than identifying the moon in the night's sky. Which is pretty embarrassing really.

Thanks to telescope manufacturer Celestron, there is now a remedy for my ignorance however in the shape of the amazing SkyScout Personal Planetarium.

Point the SkyScout at any bright star and it will instantly identify it for you.

Or ask it to locate a celestial body and it will guide you to it.

It's like having Sir Patrick Moore in the palm of your hand (although fortunately the SkyScout weighs considerably less).

The SkyScout Personal Planetarium has a database of thousands of objects that you can find in the night's sky and both scrolling text and narrated audio provides background information and fascinating facts about the most popular of them.

6,000 Stars, 1,500 Double and Variable Stars, all 88 constellations, over 100 deep space objects including Galaxies, Nebulae and Star Clusters, not much gets past SkyScout when it comes to star-gazing.

As soon as you switch it on, the SkyScout goes to work by giving you Tonight's Must See List. Using its built-in GPS to customise the list for wherever you happen to be, it tells you the top ten things to look out for that night.

And if you are looking at a star in a particular constellation, SkyScout will help you locate other related stars.

The SkyScout is ready to use straight out of the box and is incredibly easy to use, making it a truly inspiring gift for children or adults with an interest in science and astronomy.

Order SkyScout today from Prezzybox for £299.00.
