When I was a child, I always want to have my own telescope, so that I can stare at the star every night from my room. If I had the money at that time, I’d definitely buy this Video Capture Telescope, a telescope with built-in video capture device that allows me to capture everything that I see from its German-made lens — with up to 45x optical zoom — into a JPEG picture files. The photo will have 3.1 megapixel quality and can be stored inside your SD media card. To view the result, there’s a 2.5-inch TFT LCD display provided. A remote button to snap the picture is available as well.

Furthermore, priced at $500, Video Capture Telescope comes with a tripod, so you don’t have to hold it still all the time.
