Universe 2 Go Star Viewer

Description

Have you ever stood under the night’s sky and asked yourself: “What are all those stars up there?” Is there anybody who can tell you? The answer is within reach: Universe2go.

In combination with the accompanying Smartphone App this newly developed star viewer shows the stars with a wealth of information and fantastic images. Main feature: Digital information is merged with the image of the real night sky. You are, therefore, not looking at the display, but at a live image of the real starry sky!

By purchasing Universe2go you also acquire the license for using the accompanying app. The activation code is located inside the packaging and you can download the app from the App-Store at any time. Check before purchase whether your smartphone is compatible.
