    Hi Sean

    For quite awhile, I was extensively using it to identify 'bright stars' from the Astronomical Almanac. At the time, I was under the mistaken impression that star to star distances could be used to calibrate the arc.  I have since been thoroughly convinced otherwise.

    In use, the Sky Scout performs as advertised.  It can lead you right to (almost) any object you want.  Its quick and effective.  Getting a GPS fix can be a lengthy process.  You have to be careful of external magnetic influences. 

    I'm happy with mine.

    About how often do you use it? What do you think of it?

    Thanks,
