Amazon Prime Day sale is officially live and there are lots of deals currently available for Amazon devices but theres also great finds on photo printers. Right now the HP Sprocket Plus Instant Photo Printer is down $50 from it’s original price of $150. This deal makes it available for a discounted price of only $100 for Prime Day.

Not too long ago, Polaroid cameras meant we could take a picture and instantly print it out to give to a friend or family member. These days, most photos are being taken using smartphones. To bring back this tradition of being able to print off photos right away, HP released a pocket-sized printer designed to print off photos straight from your phone.

The HP Sprocket Plus is a small but mighty photo printer. Just about the size of a smartphone, it is lightweight and can easily fit in your pocket and is also the thinnest photo printer available in the market where you can print instant snapshots, 30% larger than the older HP Sprocket version.

The printer primarily connects to your gadgets through Bluetooth and works with the HP Sprocket app, which is free for both iOS and Android devices. Within the app, you can print pictures from your phone’s gallery, Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, and more. You can also access your main camera, take photos, and print it out seconds later. If you have captured a photo that you really love, you can also post it straight to your social media account.

Editing those photos before you print them is also possible with the Sprocket app. Add effects like filters, borders, emojis, and drawings which will then be attached to the images before they are printed out on a special paper.

What’s more interesting in HP Sprocket Plus is that you won’t need to fill this printer with ink. Instead, it has this special paper called the HP Zink Photo Paper, which is built with tiny crystals that display various colors when warmed up. Though 10 sheets of 2.3 x 3.4-inch paper are included in the package, you will need to spend an extra $13 for 20 sheets when you run out.

Take this great deal and snatch the HP Sprocket Plus Instant Photo Printer for only $100 instead of $150.

This smart Celestron telescope is 32% off for Prime Day in October

Celestron telescope with its many attachments.

Want to level up your stargazing game? Right now is an interesting time to get into the hobby, with incredible images from the VLT Survey Telescope being released and new rockets being launched every few months. This Celestron StarSense Explorer DX telescope isn't going to give you views of planets in other solar systems, but it has a bunch of cool features to help new astronomers get excited about space. As part of Prime Day telescope deals, this Celestron is discounted from $470 to just $320. Grab it before Prime Big Deal Days are over.

Why you should buy the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX telescope during Prime Day
The biggest feature of the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX that makes it great for beginners is the ability to hook it up to your smartphone. Connecting your phone lets you use the app to get a guided tour of the sky. Just point the telescope up in the sky (on a clear night) and connect the app. Using StarSense technology, the telescope figures out exactly what it's looking at. It knows where you are in the world, what time it is, and what it's looking at. From there it can point you in the direction of interesting things to look at based on your location and time. This is great for people just starting out in the world of stargazing.

Prime Day in October: Get a pack of 12 AA rechargeable batteries for $18

AmazonsBasics AA batteries being inserted into a game controller.

As much as we try to avoid it, sometimes, you just have to buy those pesky household items you never want to spend money on. But if you're lucky, you can take advantage of some excellent discounts, like Prime Day deals, which provide the perfect opportunity to stock up. Amazon's Prime Day Big Deal Days event makes those discounts even sweeter. While we are close to an AA-battery-free world, it hasn't happened yet. Fortunately, we have a rechargeable option to spend less money and throw fewer batteries into landfills. Right now, you can get a 12-pack of Amazon Basic rechargeable batteries for just $18, thanks to a 10% discount on Prime Day. This deal will likely only stick around during the sale, so if your battery drawer is running low, grab them as soon as possible.

Why you should buy Amazon AA rechargeable batteries during the Prime Day Big Deal Days sale
Of course, there's not much I can tell you about batteries that you don't already know. These Amazon Basics brand AAs have a 2,000 mAh storage capacity. That's lower than a traditional alkaline battery, but it has enough power to last for a good three to four hours of continuous use. Then the rechargeable factor comes in. You can recharge these batteries about 1,000 times before they die out. Think about how many batteries it will save you -- and how much money. Let's do some quick napkin math. 1,000 recharges... alkaline batteries cost around one-third the price of a rechargeable... factor in the difference in storage capacity... It could be as much as $300 in savings over a single battery's lifetime. A lot less waste too.

Logitech C270 -- $24, was $30

In our roundup of the best Logitech webcams, we picked the Logitech C270 for students on a tight budget. It's very affordable, but it still offers decent 720p resolution and automatic light correction so that you'll look clear when you join online classes, as well as a microphone with noise reduction so you'll be heard loud and clear from as far as 5 feet away. The webcam also comes with an adjustable universal clip that should allow it to attach to any monitor or laptop, though you can also fold it and use it as a stand.
