POINT AND SHOOT ASTRONOMY

Meade's mySKY is an innovative, easy to use device that allows you to learn about the night sky by literally pointing at what you want to know about. Easy. 

The mySKY incorporates a GPS to auto align itself then leaves the user to literally point and learn.  Information is displayed as audio, video and still photography.  Incredible.

Meade claims this is the easiest way to explore the night sky, and if this device performs as described, I think I would find it hard to disagree.
