Rating: - Pretty cool device
I've wanted one of these since they came out about 2 years ago and read an article in Popular Science Magazine. They originally came out at $399 and I didn't want to pay that. But last week when I saw they were down to $199 I had to get one.I'm glad I did. The device is amazing. With its last update from July 2008, there are now more than 40,000 objects in its database.
What you do it look into the optical non-magnifying lens and little lights point which way to move the scope until ... Read More
Rating:  - Very Enjoyable!
Got these as a gift for my husband and, WOW, how wonderful for him to look at the constellations and be able to identify what he's looking at. Very nicely made and easy to use.A nice idea put to use for our enjoyment!
Rating:  - A very fun product
I was given a SkyScout as an award at the company I work at (it would have never occurred to me to buy one). I've had it out several times with my kids (11 and 7) this summer.

I purchased the SkyScout for my wife--she likes birds and the night sky.It works well as billed and is easy to use though we are pretty tech oriented.It does take a little time to acquire orientation when you first come out and turn it on.It is very accurate and we use it with the Celestron maps.Note--as everyone does--that it does not magnify.It is purely an identification aid.I tried its competitor from Meade and found it a lot more clunky to use and in reality it was more of a talking video ...

Rating: - Good for eduation; better with improvements
We are new to astronomy and have used this for over a month.To date,we are pretty much satisfied with this product.The upgrade went smoothly and battery use not bad (though we are using rechargeable).My only dislikes are:
1.Screen is difficult to read (for older, over 40 eyes that is; younger folks might not have issue).It could be the color and I wish there were a way to change it.
2.You need to use a headphone or external speaker.Minor nit, but when you have a group ... Read More
