 Rating:  - My husband loves it!I gave this as a gift to my husband for Xmas 2007. He loves it. He has always been fascinated with astronomy and telescopes, but I wasn't able to afford a telescope and didn't really know what to look for in one, so this seemed like a good start. He really enjoys using it and shows me all kinds of things that we can now identify in the night sky!

I've had it out several times with my kids (11 and 7) this summer. My kids love the SkyScout. All you do is point it at an object in the sky and press identify and it will tell you what it is (very cool). If you want to find something you just look it up in the UI and then follow the read lights in the view finder (even cooler). My kids love to look at the sky in the ... Read More Rating: - SkyScoutI 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 ...
