High quality, fun product!!! - Celestron SkyScout Personal Planetarium 93970 Handheld GPS Star Guide / Locator

I am not an amateur astronomer; I've been into astronomy for almost 7 years and I think this is definitely NOT just a toy for beginners or kids (though it is great for them too). The SkyScout is really informative, even for those who've been into the hobby of astrology for awhile. It is nice and lightweight so kids could enjoy using it without getting tired. There are certainly a lot of stars and celestial objects to see in New Mexico, and SkyScout has helped me to locate and identify some of them I couldn't find before. The GPS is just the slightest bit fussy once in awhile (takes a little while to configure), but it really does not detract from the quality or appeal of this product. Besides it's worth the wait! Great price at OP, too. I think with Christmas coming up they'd make awesome gifts for just about anyone!
Pros: great for experienced astronomers, or kids/beginners
Cons: gps a tad fussy, but very rarely
