Push Button Simple

Most people like positive outcomes, but they come at a great price when you consider you have to compete most of the time to get them. However, the SkyScout helps you achieve some of those outcomes without competing with your friends and family. In fact, the SkyScout from Celestron will show you how to empower your friends and relations to conquer many objects outside the earth.

Let’s say you want to locate a particular star or another celestial object. With the SkyScout you just push the locate button on the unit, then find the name of the object in the electronic database. You then would highlight the name and push "select" and SkyScout will let you know if the object is in its database.

Not all objects are in the database, so you would update the database every so often for the latest findings. You can read the text on the screen or select the audio which contains the same information.

Telescopes

SkyScout beats those systems that include telescopes because they are excruciatingly slow to calibrate. They probably take about thirty minutes to fine-tune, and you need to reorient every time you pick up the telescope and move to another location.

The SkyScout is fun for the entire family. Kids always enjoy going out at those times when their parents expect them to stay at home. Spending time outside with your kids during the early evenings, would make for some great learning and family fun with the SkyScout.

You can identify and locate the object at random, then read to the kids the information you see on the screen, or access via the audio file. Your kids will many happy sounds as they about the mystery of the great beyond.

This is especially important for parents who want to educate their kids about astronomy. Spending a few evening during the Christmas break with your children will help them get a head start on an important topic. Sooner or later you will see your kids want to do some learning of their own by visiting web sites that contain information about the stars and other heavenly objects.

Magnetic Field

One buyer describes the SkyScout as pretty cool. It uses a battery technology that creates a stronger magnetic field than normal alkaline batteries do.

Another thing, after a few nights outside with the Skyscout you almost do not need to take it with you because you become so familiar with the night sky. But I would say take it anyway because you will never know when you will discover a new star or other celestial object.

Home Planetarium

Once you use the SkyScout, your friends and family members will be asking you to bring out the telescope, so they can see even more interesting objects. You can use it for as many evenings as you like because you will enjoy every minute of this home planetarium.

Some people have suggested using the SkyScout a small clearing rather than near a building or large trees. It seems like the latter cause some magnetic interference with the signals. You may also find the same result occurs when you stand near a car, truck, or other vehicle with a chassis. This is an interesting finding but it is possible given that these items include several huge chunks of metal.
