Can't tell the Milky Way from the Big Dipper? Then you need the 'My Sky' handheld decoder!

Ok, it's a little pricey at 299 British Pounds, but damn! What an awesome gadget!

I really do want one!

Hey GB! Here's a concept: become the first retail outlet that 'rents' the mySky for overnight gazing!

I would pay $20 for one night to elevate my starfinder ability.

Do I have stars in my eyes?

That's a great idea, Sawsee!

I just wish I had the confidence to believe that you'd be able to make money with it eventually. Sadly, I think it would never catch on well enough to pay.

Perhaps a small venture in a larger centre...

Yeah, this seemed like a great gift idea for my grandson....then I saw the price! How disappointing....
:-(

It looks like the Blog people are making changes again. Don't know how to log in anymore....

Hi Lady! If there is a demand for this product, I'm sure the price will drop. It's a great concept.

GB! I'm sure guests at high-end wilderness resorts would jump at the chance to rent one of these. I think the desire to use one drops in the city as most stars are obscured by the city lights.

I didn't read all the features, but I wonder if you have to adjust the settings by season and hemisphere?

Lady! Yes, the blog brass continue to mess with settings.
