Starry Eyed:

1-07-09 I bought this item as a Christmas gift for my wife who loves the night skies . She is having a great time with it. She informs me that the only problem she has is the nights are so cold that she can't spend as much time with it as she would like. Our 6 year grandson was up the other day and he was thrilled with it too. At this point there have been no mechanical problems. Bob

Nothing more I can write that has not been written,I waited till amazon had this at a price I could not refuse.I had to walk around till it could get its fix,and then it worked like claimed,I was Wowed and came back inside elated.

Very Cool and Useful Stargazing Aid - Highly Recommended!:

The solution was to buy the SkyScout.
The SkyScout worked perfectly right out of the box for us, the GPS satellite acquisition was amazingly fast, and the unit literally pointed out our first target (Venus)... more info

Amazing:

I received this as a gift. I had seen it previously and was slightly skeptical about whether it could deliver as promised or be as accurate as you would need it to be. Anyway, took it out of the box and read the three pages or so of quick start up instructions. took it outside and it had a little trouble getting a gps link. I moved farther away from the house though and it synched properly. So, I pointed it up to a star, looked through the eyepiece and pressed the button and *bang*. It told me what it was.... more info
