Meade MySky's interactive astronomy

On my last trip to the hills, I remember enjoying the night sky like never before. Since there is little lighting in the remote areas, one is able to see the stars and satellites much better than in the cities. Our hosts were themselves interested in astronomy and gladly pointed out the major stars and formations in the sky. While it was possible to see quite clearly with the naked eye, with telescopes the images were unbelievable and quite breathtaking. They had recently purchased a Meade MySky telescope which could pick out more than 30,000 objects in the sky, including nebulas, galaxies and planets. To have something like this in your own home is simply incredible and its quite addictive. The Meade MySky is so much more than a telescope and is actually a personal video planetarium. It is interactive and simple to use, all you have to do is to point it at an object in the sky and it will give you all the information about it.
