Celestron SkyScout Personal Planetarium Comments:
5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to start to learn the night sky!,
February 2, 2007
5.0 out of 5 stars A Revolution in Astronomy,
December 18, 2006 This review is from: Celestron SkyScout Personal Planetarium (Electronics) I have literally been waiting for the Skyscout all my life. I always wanted to be able to look in the sky and identify celestial bodies but just didn’t have the kind of brain that could wrap itself around star charts. Nor did I know anyone who could stand there and discuss it with me on a chilly night.
The Skyscout is like no other astronomyrelated device because for the first time, you can just take it out of the box, put in the batteries, wait a few seconds for it to find its location via GPS (same as a car navigation system), point at something in the sky and press the IDENTIFY button to have it identified to you. Think about that for a second. At last, you have an easytouse handheld device that can tell you what star or star formation you’re looking at!
Or you can work the other way. Have it list celestial bodies and formations for you, press the LOCATE button, then helpful arrows in the readout will blink until you’ve pointed it in the right direction. And many of the entries in its database have audio accompaniment so you can learn about them through the included earphones! How cool is that? It has a slot that will eventually accept cartridges with more stuff as time goes by, but the builtin database is pretty big as it is.
And for what it’s worth, because the Skyscout uses builtin GPS, you can use it to display your locaiton using GPS coordinates. I have a nav system on my car but the SkyScout is still better than that, because I can’t figure out how to get that info out of the car! on the Skyscout it’s just one button.
All this stuff is particularly easy to access, and even the error messages are helpful. For example, on one particularly cold Seattle night I tried to use it from inside my car. A magnet icon popped up, and an error message explained that magnetic interference by something such as the chassis of an automobile was impeding it. Slick.
The gizmos currently included with highend telescopes come nowhere near this facility. First off, you need a telescope with you. The Skyscout is the size of a hotel alarm clock and has its own (nonmagnified) viewer. Just whip this thing out of your pocket and go to town. Second, the ones with telescopes are agonizingly slow to calibrate, like half an hour or so, and must be reoriented every time you pick up the ‘scope and move. Plus you have to enter all kinds of location and time information on many of them; the Skyscout just finds itself. And finally, none of them of course can simply tell you what you’ve pointed the ‘scope at. The Skyscout can. I also need to emphasize that it neither needs nor comes with an 80page manual like the ones that come with telescopes. It’s like 1 printed sheet, and that’s plenty. The UI is very, very simple.
This is a revolutionary 1.0 product. My only complaint is that goes through batteries like I eat Lucky Charms. Bring an extra set when you go out. Oh, and one reviewer said that for $400 it should come with a lens cap. Fair enough. But remember that the optics are almost irrelevantit’s just a plastic cover so you can see the lighted guides pointing you in the right direction. Get a fingerprint on it, finejust wipe it off with any lens tissue. The unit won’t be damaged, nor will its usefulness be affected in any way by a dirty lens. Your telescope has the magnfication and the useful optics. If you even brought it with youI never have, so far!
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product,
