Hopper™ Unlocks the Wonders of Deep Space Exploration

Elegant Technology

Hopper is an innovative electronic finder that attaches to your existing telescope. Hopper uses an integrated camera to look at the sky where your telescope is pointed. It uses the powerful Cedar™ software to instantly analyze the star patterns it sees to determine your telescope's exact position in the night sky. Hopper then helps you point your telescope with confidence.
