Product Description
For those who already own a SkyScout personal planetarium, here's a practical accessory that makes the Celestron SkyScout even easier and more fun to use. With the SkyLine laser pointer mounted on the side of the SkyScout, you and others in your family or group will see exactly where SkyScout is pointed. You won't have to crane your neck back and hold a weary arm over your head as you sight through the SkyScout with your eye glued to the lens. In fact, you won't have to view through the SkyScout at all! Instead, just hold it in any comfortable position and point the side-mounted SkyLine's 3-5 milliwatt green laser beam at the star or object you want to ID. Then hit the target button and read the object's description from SkyScout's LCD panel. Easy!The custom-designed, dual-ring ABS bracket threads with a single screw (included) into the socket on the side of the SkyScout.This accessory will not interfere with the SkyScout's GPS system or pointing accuracy. And the Skyline pointer can be removed from the bracket at any time for use as a standalone pointer to show others what's up in the night sky.The SkyScout is the coolest astronomical gadget on the market today. Make it even cooler with the SkyLine Laser Pointer and Bracket!

A MUST Have!! June 26, 2008

If you already own a Skyscout you might as well spend a little extra money to widen your experience stargazing. You no longer need to use your finger or tell your friends "no, not that one, the one next to it". The laser points exactly where you should be looking.
The laser takes about 12 minutes out of the box to get sighted to the Skyscout. I love it.
Great addition to the Sky Scout! November 4, 2007

The green laser light seems to go forever. It is an excellent enhancement to the Sky Scout for the identify mode.
