- We love it!
Very happy with the SkyScout. Worked perfectly out of the box, easy to use, lightweight and sturdy. Was a huge hit with the grandkids. It was helpful to have a simple star chart with us as well, useful in finding the entire constellation once a single star was identified. Very fun, I can see getting a lot of use out of this great product.
Rating: - Great product
Recent price reduction and free downloads of NGC objects a real plus! Using as a finder on my dobsonian. Works great!

This is an amazing gadget. When I first tried it, the GPS didn't work. I manually entered the coordinates and it worked beautifully. Now, after several weeks, everything works perfectly and automatically.If it were lost or stolen, I'd get another.I never upgraded the software .... Don't see the need and some reviewers have had problems (who knows why).
Rating: - Superb Deal
I bought the SkyScout to interface with my Orion XT8 Dob. It performed perfectly, I was able to locate The Andromeda Galaxy, then use the XT8 to view it. "excellent" It has in my opinion out performed what I thought it could do, and I paid under $200.00 how can you beat that!
