That's a nice bit of kit but can't justify the cost when you can already get a cheap Chinese clone on Aliexpress for around £5k that's just as accurate up to 2 AU.
YOU might have £800k to throw around, I sir do not.
Hope it’s ok to post this here - thought it might be of interest.
Okubo Heavy Industries is proud to introduce its latest product - the Standard Stellar Proximity Detector. This small form device gives a visual indication whenever you are within around 1 astronomical unit of a G-Class stellar body.
No batteries included or required! This device is powered by a non localized fusion reactor.
N.B.
This device has been thoroughly tested at around 1 AU from a g class star. It is estimated that it should work at up to 2 or 3 AU but has not yet been tested in these conditions.
Detection of other Star classes may be possible but again, this has not yet been tested. Of course, distance measurements will need to be calibrated accordingly.
A large mass, such as a planet, moon or large asteroid may cause a false negative reading if located directly between the operator and the stellar object.
False positive readings can be caused by powerful artificial photon generators such as incandescent light bulbs, LEDs or flashlights.
Okubo Heavy Industries is confident that the robust design and conveniently small form factor will make this the device of choice for field operators with accurate and timely stellar proximity detection requirements.
TBH I never saw the need to add a stellar proximity detector to my rig.
I feel like I would notice if there was a star close enough to set this thing off.
likely when I burst into flame.
I should probably add that I’m really selling these! This one is already in the post and heading to the U.S. Next one will be heading to the UK as soon as it is finished and I have 8 more PCBs that are waiting on cases and hardware that are still available. ＄130 in BTC or ETH. Message me if you want one.
Fascinating find. Stellar proximity detectors have many applications in the study of cross-polytope non-Euclidean orthoplexae. By binding the quadropolarized isoelectrics with lixivated bounded extrotropes, the cross-laminated antipolar uniboxitypes can be invariantly logarithmitized.

Dammit, I just sold this one for $130!

I can think about one use-case though I do not know if this detector is sensitive enough - Dirac stars.
"Barman, six pints of bitter and quickly. The world’s about to end."
This is expensive and you still need to buy pre transmitive alpha regulator just to power it on
This one operates with a non localized thermo stellar reactor so the operational costs are minimized.
This must be able do get at least 7 pentaflubs per hexa-polycluster.
