Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Meade mySKY Personal Guide for Sky Exploration
Customer Review: greatly disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought I had carefully compared the MySky and the celestron product, and made the right choice. BIG MISTAKE. This product took quite a while to set up as far as getting the GPS to work. The pointing is not accurate--it identified Jupiter as a star on the first attempt, but then it worked out. The videos and audio are minimal, not very informative at all. This is WAY overpriced for what you get, and it doesnt seem well made. I plan on returning it and trying the Sky Scout. Hopefully, it works better. Meade promotes its product as having a larging database of celestial objects to find, but does it matter if it doesnt work? LM
