#CELESTRON SKYSCOUT GPS NOT WORKING MOVIE#

The SkyScout lesson for Vega (one of the points on the вЂњtriangleвЂќ) touched on the 1997 movie Contact, which I was then able to parlay into a deeper spiel about Carl Sagan.

The kids really enjoyed the Summer Triangle stars and their corresponding Constellations.

The audible lessons are really interesting and fun - usually consisting of highlights and some esoterica of the object under observation. But thatвЂ™s the point: thereвЂ™s so much to see, even in our own backyard! Our favorite function is the вЂњtourвЂќ which lets us sit back and look upward while listening to a Top 20 list of objects identified as optimal for viewing based on the date, time, and location of our session. Mostly, we star gaze from our backyard in the вЂburbs - not a вЂњdark-sky certifiedвЂќ area with a dramatic showing of stars hidden by the pollution of city lights. WeвЂ™ve now had ours for a few months and use it a minimum of once a week (mostly weekends, weather permitting). ItвЂ™s proven very wonderful for engaging my young children in something theyвЂ™ve grown to enjoy and I hope they carry forward in their lives. Though the unit can be used as a spotter for those wishing to leverage a telescope, thus far, we enjoy exploring the night sky sans scope so the whole family can participate and listen to the audio lessons without having to wrestle for viewing time. If the millions upon millions of light years involved with observable objects in space were analogous to a city map, the SkyScout can get you within a couple of blocks of your exact destination (which is pretty darn good!). al.), which will be more than enough targets to keep me and my family engaged for quite sometime. The SkyScout employs a database purported to hold 6,000 stars, 1,500 double & variable stars, all 88 constellations, and 100 deep space objects (galaxies, nebulae, clusters, et. When you point it towards a certain spot in the sky, the built-in GPS receiver identifies a particular constellation and stars - and you can then opt to hear an audio tour about the celestial items that have been identified. The SkySout is an interactive guide for exploring the heavens with or without a telescope.
