- Do Not Buy This Product
As a budding backyard astronomer, I was hoping for an aid to my exploration. I bought this pretty much on release and now, about a year later and after getting the latest software shipped to me by Meade, I have decided to call this a total loss. Out of the box, it had an "identify" function that was supposed to allow me to point to a celestial object and the mySKY would identify it. I never got that far as the mySKY could not ever get calibrated (i.e. GPS fix). I thought it was me and so I would ... Read More

- greatly disappointing
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 ... Read More

- Somewhat less valuable than a happy meal prize
I tried to rate it as ZERO stars but I'm forced to give it the undeserved single star.

Oh my goodness. I should have visited the review forums before buying this overpriced miserable piece of junk.

The quality of the materials is well below what you might expect of a $300 device (valued at $500 by Meade). Without exaggeration, I must tell you that I have seen happy meal prizes of better construction and made of better materials. The resolution of the video screen when viewing ... Read More

- Doesn't work, can't get repaired
I bought a MySky in February. When it arrived, from the first time, it woudld not work: It would lock up whether you had it look for birds or you entered data manually. I sent it back. Waited weeks. Got replacement. It worked once. Next time, buttons failed to work and parts falling out of battery door. I sent it back again, had to pay this time because I had it more than 2 months (never really got to use it, it was cloudy during the midwest floods!) still have not heard or seen any sign of a replacement ...

- First one worked great! Then the nightmare started......
I bought mine to run my ETX90 EC and to help the kids learn the sky. I knew it had problems, but I figured if it didn't work I could return it right away for another. My first unit worked extremely well from November 2007 to March 2008. The tracking was perfect, all the buttons worked as well as all the features. It also performed as advertised with the classic original ETX. I was impressed.

Then, during a Messier Marathon in 2008, the power button broke off inside! I could hear it rattling ... Read More
