Comments about Meade mySKY:

This item works precisely as described. I was able to get the MySky up and running the first night. It is very easy to use and seems to be fairly accurate. I was surprised how little this item weights. This is a great thing since you will spend a fair amount of time pointing it up in the air. This is no substitute for a telescope (or nice pair of binoculars). However, it's great for general stargazing and is quite valuable for learning the night sky. Moreover, unlike most telescopes, it travels well, I anticipate this becoming a common travel companion along with a nice pair of binoculars.
