Just can focus on any star, and the Sky Scout will identify and describe the star, either with a recording describing the star or you can read about it on the illuminated display. A great and unique gift! We love it.  -  Tuesday, November 20, 2007 A must have for any astronomer Reviewed By: Brandon (Jacksonville, Florida) This device is the best addition to my astronomy collection. Using the device, I am much quickly able to identify objects in the sky, reposition my telescope to alignment and the audio text information is very educational. Everyone I show my Sky Scout to are very envious.  -  Wednesday, November 28, 2007 nice gadget Reviewed By: John (Blacksburg, Virginia) The Skyscout cleverly exploits GPS technology along with the latest advances in magnetic field/acceleration sensors. A great gadget. My only complaint is that Celestron is less than candid about it's accuracy...certain celestial objects may be several degrees from the boresight of the device. Celestron claims that the unit is in spec if the targeted object is "within the outer ring of the viewfinder". Well, that's fine...except that the field of view of the outer ring depends strongly on how closely the unit is held from the face. So, technically, 5-10 degrees off is okay among friends. I still enjoy my Skyscout, despite the accuracy problems.  -  Saturday, February 09, 2008 Expensive Reviewed By: jared (holland, pa) Awesome stuff right here but when i got it i realized didn't do much you just kind of find stuff you cant even look at it.
