Customer Review: A Useful Accessory for SkyScout and Celestron Telescopes
Summary: 4 Stars

I have a Celeston Nexstar 8 SE Celestron's SkyScout. I live under extremely light polluted skies, so I need all the help that I can get. But the SkyScout does is make it easier to find objects in light polluted skies assuming you have done a proper alignment of your go to telescope. What I have found to be the most useful with this assessory is be sure to do a three star alignment with telescope. This is because the SkyScout itself is often in finding objects by less than a degree. This means that when you tell it to slew the telescope using the SkyScout connect the object you are seeking will not necessarily be in the field of view of your eyepiece, but it will be very close making the object you are seeking easier to find. Within the last week I have been able to find five separate Messier objects that I have never been able to see under any circumstances in this area.

The one nitpick that I would say that needs to be improved is the documentation that comes with the kit. The documentation tells you that you have to have both the telescope's hand controller and the SkyScout on at the same time. What is not clear is that you have to turn the SkyScout on a split second after you turn on your telescope. If you fail to do this then it will not synchronize with your telescope and you cannot use the unit to control your telescope. This means that you have to do it all over again until the two are linked. It to me a few times to get this down when I first began to use it a couple of weeks ago, but now I find that it is not a problem as long as I turn on the unit a split second after turning on the telescope.
