Puts the knowledge of an expert astronomer in the palm of your hand!

The SkyScout is a revolutionary handheld device that uses advanced GPS technology with point and click convenience to instantly identify thousands of stars, planets, constellations and more. Simply point the SkyScout at any star in the sky and click the "target" button--the SkyScout will instantly tell you what object you are looking at. To locate a star or planet, select the object's name from the menu and follow the directional arrows through the viewfinder. SkyScout tells you when you are on target. It's that easy! Once you have targeted an object the real fun begins.

The SkyScout includes entertaining and educational audio and text information, including facts, trivia, history and mythology about our most popular celestial objects.

And add graphics, text, audio, interactive elements, and more to your explorations with Expansion Cards for your Celestron SkyScout Personal Planetarium.

These expansion cards provide detailed information on a variety of topics to help aspiring astronomers learn about our sky and universe. Suitable for all levels of proficiency, the Astronomy For Beginners and All About The Stars expansion cards present information in a simplified manner that makes learning fun and easy. Simply insert the card into SkyScout's SD card slot and start exploring.

And with the SkyScout Connect you can connect your SkyScout® Personal Planetarium directly to Celestron computerized telescopes.

Locate any object in the SkyScout database and your computerized telescope will slew to the same object with a touch of a button.

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.

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.
