Hopper: See More of the Night Sky

How it Works

Hopper™ is an innovative electronic finder that attaches to your existing telescope. It uses an integrated camera to look at the sky where your telescope is pointed, and uses the powerful Cedar™ software to instantly analyze star patterns to pinpoint your telescope's exact position in the night sky. Hopper helps you move your telescope toward your selected target with confidence.
