Here's an easy and economical way for the whole family to explore the night sky — with binoculars! Orion's specially designed kit starts with a quality Orion 7x35 porro-prism binocular, which is perfect for scanning the sky for hidden treasures. It delivers crisp, bright images and has a large center focus wheel for getting a razor-sharp focus.

Also included is an Orion Star Target Planisphere, or star wheel, that shows you what constellations and bright objects are visible on any given night. The RedBeam Mini LED astronomer's flashlight lets you see the planisphere in the dark. The pure red light preserves your dark-adapted night vision better than white-light flashlights. You also get Starry Night Special Edition software to help you plan your viewing sessions and understand what you see. Use it to access one million stars and celestial objects, view and print star charts of your local sky, and explore the solar system with interactive SkyGuide tours.

Take a two-eyed tour of the Milky Way and check out its myriad star clusters and nebulas. Locate and marvel at the Andromeda Galaxy, the Orion nebula, the Hercules Cluster, and the Moon's cratered surface. The Orion Binocular Stargazing Kit makes it all possible! It's the perfect, inexpensive gift for a novice stargazer of any age.

Starry Night Special Edition CD-ROM runs on Windows XP or Macintosh OS 10.3 or higher. Binocular case included. One-year limited warranty.
