Fun for the whole family
(2 out of 5) by D. Updegrove on Aug 18, 2008We purchased this for my parents in their 70s but everyone enjoyed it, even our 9 year old son. It is a wonderful way to learn more about the night sky.

JUNKY BEWARE
(1 out of 5) by J. reed on Dec 13, 2008 (LA)Trusting in this company and the reviews, I and some friends naively, excitedly tried to get a gps in my front yard. I live in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, I got the electromagnetic icon indicating magnetic field interference. That makes sense. So, I took the SkyScout out to Blythe, California into the fields, but again, the ole magnetic interference icon. Sooo, I next took the thing out to Joshua Tree National Park, and again, YES, you guessed it, the magnetic interference icon. I guess that explains why the moon was 30 to 90 degrees off!!! Yea, this is really a super tool ! I will mail it back for a refund ASAP, and NO Celestron I do not want to buy a bridge offered in Brooklyn New York.
I do not suggest buying a two or three thousand dollar telescope from these people.

futile expectations
(2 out of 5) by great expectator on Dec 23, 2007 (usa)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.
