Draco the smart telescope wakes itself up to shoot stars while you sleep

About 4,500 years ago, while the Egyptians were busy stacking pyramids, the North Star was a completely different star called Thuban. It sat in the same spot in the sky, but the Earth's slow wobble swapped it out. Draco the smart telescope understands that kind of patience. It wakes itself up while you sleep, shoots the night sky automatically, and hands you the results in the morning. A 90mm aperture and a brain that decides when conditions are right. No standing in the cold, no fiddling with focus. This is a telescope that does the stargazing for you. It is deeply nerdy in the best way, a gadget for people who want the photo without the process.
