Look through any typical amateur telescope at a clear night sky and you might be hard pressed to identify celestial bodies staring back at you. You can change that though with computerized help via the Celestron NexStar 4SE, available at Frontgate for around $600.

The Celestron NexStar 4SE is your typical looking telescope except for the small computer device attached to the side of it. You can use this to enter information such as time and location to help you actually point the scope at the right item in the sky. A database of different celestial bodies helps you pick out the one you are seeking.

After finding the body you desire you can take snapshots by hooking your digital camera up to it. The lens itself has 240x magnifying power, assuring you get a good shot of your astrological sign. There’s even an included CD-ROM you can learn from to impress your date on a warm summer night.
