The Computer Display Telescope

This is the desktop digital telescope that displays a magnified view on a computer monitor, so a roomful of young astronomers can simultaneously enjoy astral observation. A digital camera fits over a special eyepiece and connects to a computer's USB port, enabling images or video of Orion, Ursa Major, or any celestial body seen through the telescope to be captured and saved. The telescope has a 400mm focal length with four eyepieces (15X, 20X, 25X, and 35X) that can be changed simply by rotating the central turret. The telescope can be detached from the computer for traditional solo observation and the camera attaches to a separate stand to act as a web camera with 640x480 resolution. Sturdy metal base provides stability for stargazing. Includes video and photo editing software. For Windows Vista and XP. Ages 14 and up. 14 1/4" H x 15 1/2" W x 9 3/4" D. (7 1/4 lbs.)
