There’s nothing quite like the experience of staring up at a star-filled night sky when you’re away from the city. There are plenty of stargazing apps for whatever smartphone you’re carrying, but the experience you get from that is a bit like watching a concert through your phone. It’s time to go old school for all your stargazing needs with the Sarut Group Stellarscope. All you have to do is choose the correct adapter for your latitude, rotate the time and date selector, and then look through the lens to find a star map aligned with the actual night sky. It’s accurate between 20° and 60° north or south latitude, which means it will work in the continental U.S. as well as most of Alaska and Canada. You’ll quickly and easily be able to locate and identify more than 1,500 stars that are visible to the naked eye. It’s a solid piece of adventure kit that’s small enough to fit in a bag or glovebox so you always have it on hand.
