I just got an email about this recently launched online contest for an assortment of Celestron stargazing and exploration products – including the SkyScout(R) Personal Planetarium(TM) – in addition to all of the camping supplies and gear needed for a family outdoor adventure. Also, three first place winners will receive SkyScouts and six runner-up winners will take home Celestron stargazing and exploration products. Looks like a big windfall if you love camping in the outdoors and want to get your hands on some cool prizes. Try your luck at http://www.celestron.com/UBASC/
About the size of a camcorder and weighing less than 16 ounces, the SkyScout utilizes a consumer-friendly “point and shoot” GPS technology that enables stargazers to instantly identify and/or locate over 6,000 celestial objects in the sky with the press of a button and listen to commentary on the object and its history. Among its many accolades, the SkyScout has been named “Best of America” by the editors of Reader’s Digest magazine, 2006 titleholder of PC Magazine’s Last Gadget Standing and is a recipient of Popular Mechanic’s Editor’s Choice Award as well as the Backpacker’s Editor’s Choice Award.
I haven’t camped in ages, but this just might give me a reason to consider it again. And, I haven’t won anything in years! I think I’m due.
