Here's a practical accessory that makes the Celestron SkyScout even easier and more fun to use. With SkyLine Green Laser Pointer mounted on the side of the SkyScout, you and others in your family or group will see exactly where SkyScout is pointed. You won't have to crane your neck back and hold a weary arm over your head as you sight through the SkyScout with your eye glued to the lens. In fact, you won't have to view through the SkyScout at all! Instead, just hold it in any comfortable position and point the side-mounted SkyLine's 3-5 milliwatt green laser beam at the star or object you want to ID. Then hit the Target button and read the object's description from SkyScout's LCD panel. Easy!The SkyScout Personal Planetarium is a camcorder-size digital planetarium that uses GPS to locate and identify over 6,000 stars, planets, constellations, and deep-sky objects. It's easy to use; you just turn it on and you're ready for adventure. You sight through the SkyScout, aiming at any visible object in the sky, then press the "Target" button. The name and a fascinating description of the target object are displayed instantly on the illuminated, 3"-wide LCD screen! You can also listen to an audio narrative describing the history, mythology, and other entertaining facts about more than 200 of the most popular objects, using the included earbud headphones.

4Great tool for skygazingOct 03, 2008
The SkyScout is dead-on in finding requested stars and constellations (or identifying something up there). The guiding lights make finding things a snap. It seems to be routinely "slightly off" in finding Jupiter,though... Jupiter is towards the side of the viewfinder when the SkyScout thinks you have it centered. Other stars and "M32", however, are dead in the center when SkyScout thinks they should be. The green laser is great, and helps show others what you are looking at. This is a fun and useful gizmo! (SkyScout Does seem to suck the life out of the AA batteries quickly, though, but they are cheap or rechargeable)

4Really fun to useJun 21, 2007
My sisters and I bought this for our mother, who has always been a
stargazer. We tried it out in Los Angeles where, admittedly, there are few stars to see.
However, the Sky Scout did identify everything at which
we pointed. I think we could have spent hours looking up and learning about
the various stars and planets. The night sky tour is especially cool.
It is a really great device, and I recommend it. Minus one star for the price.
