The most daunting task of locating objects in the night sky is greatly simplified with the marriage of the Celestron SkyScout and the highly portable and easy to use SkyScout Scope 90.
As a stand-alone telescope, the SkyScout Scope 90 is wonderfully light-weight, and well suited for scanning the skies or observing wildlife on land. But this scope gets its attraction because it can be used with the SkyScout Personal Planetarium to quickly locate astronomical objects.
The SkyScout attaches to an adjustable bracket to allow you to easily locate objects. The non-magnetic materials of the scope and bracket will not interfere with the SkyScout sensors for higher accuracy.
The SkyScout is the first revolutionary handheld planetarium, designed to help everyone learn and enjoy the night sky.
