Click here to see the fantastic SkyScout in action

  • Identifies celestial objects with the click of a button
  • Locates over 6,000 stars, planets and constellations from built-in celestial database and provides scientific information for each object
  • Provides comprehensive text and audio descriptions providing history, mythology and other entertaining information for the most popular objects
  • What SkyScout comes withTonight's Highlights: A customized list of the 20 best objects to view for your exact date, time and location anywhere in the world
  • Constellation Lessons: if the star you identify or locate is part of a constellation or an asterism like the Big Dipper, you can actually take a guided tour through all the stars in that constellation and even see an onscreen map of the constellation
  • Built-in Field Guide Includes:
    • Introduction to astronomy: a six part audio lesson on the origin and history of astronomy
    • Glossary of Terms: text defining popular astronomy terms including planets, comets, galaxies and more
    • Great Astronomers: text bios on some of the world's greatest astronomers including Galileo, Einstein and Copernicus
    • Man Made Space Objects: text description of some of the coolest objects man has sent into space including the International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope and the Space Shuttle
    • Comet Guide: text descriptions about history's most famous comets including Halley's Comet and Comet Hale-Bop
  • SD card slot: for optional “Sky Tour” audio presentations that provide hours of entertainment on a variety of topics
  • USB port: allows database to be updated with new objects as they are discovered, comets, etc. 
  • Simple enough for all ages:  just turn it on and it’s ready to use
  • Built-in Help Menu: includes a quick start instruction guide for using the SkyScout
  • Bring it anywhere: compact and light design makes it easy to carry and durable construction makes it safe for rugged environments
  • Backed by Celestron's 2-year warranty

I was amazed at it its accuracy in identifying on objects such as Jupiter, M 13 Arcturus etc., during repeated sweeps through the sky last Tuesday night. Doing a Messier marathon (once the skiy clears) should be no bother at all.!!
 
Thanks again
