New Newton

Newton is a new type of astronomical telescope that is made with very simple low technology. It is crafted and designed using the principles of reflecting telescope that are suitable for the observation of nebula, star clusters, galaxy etc. The elegant shape reminds me of a spaceship!

The Newton has two eyepieces and has two GPS chips that help in accurately locating a constellation. To further refine the system, there is an App that collaborates with the telescope and enhances the accuracy of location. Moreover it is possible to take a picture and recording in the mobile phone because it has camera in it. Digital zoom is also possible.
