2 out of 5 stars Great Concept-Flawed Design   March 11, 2010
Lesmok (Los Angeles CA USA)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've had one of these for a couple of years. The concept and the technology are great, but the design and assembly are typical Chinese throwaway quality. Over the time I've used it the accuracy in identifying objects has not been consistent. Sometimes it is quite on target and sometimes it can't even come close to the full Moon. I tried it in combination with the optional telescope designed for the SkyScout and the accuracy just wasn't there. For $400 you would expect a little more attention to design details and QC. I've been very careful when handling the unit, but as soon as it got out of warranty it completely crapped out on me. I've had it at Celestron factory service now for two months waiting for word on whether or not it can be repaired.

Another point: like many users I find I can't read the display without my glasses, even though I have a fairly mild prescription.

I was considering replacing the SkyScout with a Meade Mysky. But judging by the reviews it's an even greater dud.



1 out of 5 stars MUY MALA GARANTIA POST-VENTA   March 9, 2010
Camilo Gomez Salazar (Bogota, Colombia, South America)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

A todos los astronomos amateurs que necesitan de este tipo de equipos tengan mucho cuidado. El aparato tiene un problema de magnetismo que hace que el aparato funcione mal, llevo más de 90 dias tratando que los señores de Celestron me cumplan con la garantia, no ha sido posible. No recomiendo el servicio de garantia post-venta de esta empresa. Astronomos amateurs mucho cuidado cuando compren equipos de cierto nivel de tecnologia de esta firma NO responden por los daños, a ustedes les pareces justo que se demoren más de 90 días para un simple gps de us$170.


4 out of 5 stars Best product of its kind   February 28, 2010
Wally D. Carbo (Santee, CA USA)
I really like this device.
If you find that it doesn't work well when you get it, update the firmware of the unit via the web site.
Mine was a little whacked out till I updated it.
I also bought the Altec Lansing iM-237 speaker to listen to the audio vs. the tiny earphones.
Now... if I hadn't sold my telescope!

Waited six weeks, then got a note from Amazon.com that it's no longer available. Don't bother ordering.


2 out of 5 stars Never worked due to electromagnetic interference   November 21, 2009
mgk (Oakville, CA United States)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this after all the rave reviews only to be sadly disappointed. Not one person mentioned that the device does not work next to wifi recievers. I have a ten inch dobsonian reflecter that I cannot exactly move around my property with ease. Therefore I can only use a balcony outside my room. But because I have a wireless service that uses wifi the Skyscout failed to perform. No matter where I moved around the balcony the indicator always said "Cannot connect to GPS due to electromagnetic interference". So if you buy this Skyscout be sure you do not have a wireless service that could interfere with reception.
