Customer Review: Astonishing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in England and received the Skytscout today. What an ASTONISHING piece of kit! My son and I stood out in the garden looking at different stars and marvelling at how well Skyscout worked! It's the most amazing gadget I have owned, and I love gadgets. How on EARTH (or in space) does this thing manage to do this! We are going to spend A LOT of time sky gazing from now on! I have already ordered another unit so other members of mny family can use one! Brilliant value for money. Beats watching TV any day!Customer Review: Sky Scout Review

The Sky Scout is a great astronomy teaching tool, and I would recommend it for ages 8 through adult, and skill levels beginner to pro. The Sky Scout is great for groups and individuals, that want to learn the night sky quickly. Mounted to a non go-to telescope or pair of binoculars give the amateur astronomer a powerful observing tool. It is great for hiking and camping trips where you can not pack in heavy astronomy equipment. I highly recommend this product.

Customer Review: Possibly the most amazing electronics device I've owned
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing is simply amazing. I received this as a gift last Christmas, and I continue to be amazed at how accurate it is, how helpful it is, and how much information it has. It knows stars, planets, galaxies, you name it. It identifies what you point it at and it locates what it tells you to locate. Not to mention it gives great text descriptions as well. My six year old son is starting to get into stargazing and he loves pointing it at stars and finding out "what's that?!"Customer Review: What fun it is to know the stars.

It really works. You look up, press a button, and it tells you the star you are looking at. Or, if you want to search, it will find a star or planet. The GPS is sensitive to nearby magnetic fields, so it's difficult to amplify the audio narrative with a powered speaker or headphones, but the earpiece works well. Most microscopes and telescopes end up ignored. This is fun every night, and it even works in the daytime.Customer Review: Celestron SkyScout

I bought this for my husband and my children as a holiday gift. They are outside every night looking at the sky and learning about the stars. The amount of information and quality of information is amazing. It is easy to use and gives my husband and boys an educational activity to do together. My sons are 6 and 3 and both can hold and work the planetarium easily. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the sky!!
