Customer Review: SkyScout Satellite Linkage
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a well thought out design and valuable tool for star identification. However, I could not get mine to link up with the satellites and went through batteries trying. The unit wouldn't even link up with the satellites over an almost clear sky horizon. Garmin technology for satellite linkage would make this product so much more valuable. Celestron SkyScout Personal PlanetariumCustomer Review: Forget It
Summary: 2 Stars
I had never been so disappointed in a product. The advertisements and reviews swayed me to purchase the product. I have a great interest in astronomy so I could hardly wait to get the Celestron SkyScout. Setting up the program on the computer was painless. It was capturing stars that was next to impossible. You cannot simply point at a star and capture it. I tried using a tripod but even that was difficult. I returned the product and went back to my dependable telescopes.Customer Review: Wait for the next version
Summary: 2 Stars
I too am disappointed with this product, despite my high hopes. I found the same problems as others have already posted on Amazon.
I suggest that you wait for the improved product. I'm sure Celestron has read these reviews and is working on improving device. They must know how many sales they have lost from all these negative postings.
At $400 for a toy, uh, tool, I will wait for a better product.
Customer Review: Celestron SkyScout
Summary: 2 Stars
Product appears to work as intended; however, the display of black letters in a red field makes it impossible for me to read. My corrected vision is otherwise very adequate, but the faint letters are undecipherable to me.Customer Review: futile expectations
Summary: 2 Stars
The idea of the product is great; the execution is poor. Why would you want to waste hours to make the software, or whatever it takes to find a star, or to get the name of the star you happen to be watching.
