Very Cool and Useful Stargazing Aid - Highly Recommended!
The "Celestron SkyScout" is one of coolest stargazing aides we have come across. We have never been able to get our Meade XTA90 telescope properly aligned to automatically find celestial objects and this has been a point of contention between my wife and I (she thinks I should be able to "fix" it). The solution was to buy the SkyScout.
The SkyScout worked perfectly right out of the box for us, the GPS satellite acquisition was amazingly fast, and the unit literally pointed out our first target (Venus) in less than 5 minutes from the moment we powered it up. We also like the one touch "Target" button that can identify the object the unit is pointed at.
The "Tonight's Highlights" is a very nice feature that presents a list of the best viewing targets for the current day. We were able to find several galaxies that we hadn't viewed before, which was very exciting for us and our kids. Speaking of group viewing, I recommend using the Celestron 93985 SkyScout Speaker (Black) if more than one person is going to be around when using the unit. This is especially true if you are going to be using the SkyScout's informative audio guides. The SkyScout does come with earbuds, but no one really likes to share them.
While the SkyScout comes with a case for transporting this unit and it's cables, it does not protect the unit while it is in use. We bought the Scoutcase Deluxe Soft Case for the Celestron SkyScout Personal Planetarium for extra protection since our kids also use the unit.
We highly recommend the SkyScout for it's ease of use and relatively low price. This has brought us a new level of enjoyment to our stargazing!
