Celestron SkyScout Personal Planetarium

Q: Has the GPS on these been fixed? they dont seem to be working anymore, why have one for sale here?

So Celestron no longer supports the SkyScout Personal Planetarium. If you go to the settings section, then set time and date, you'll notice that you can't program a date past 2015. Celestron did not provide a database in the device big enough to handle past the year 2015. To answer your question, the GPS works just fine, the device will acquire satellites just fine... It's just not programmed past 2015 with Celestial information.

Q: Will a 1.25" T-Adapter fit on this?

NO, it is a visual only device, one that is virtually dead. DON't buy one no matter how cheaply it is priced.

Q: Does it work or can it be made to work in 2015 and beyond?

The gps only worked until 2015.manual setup using the instructions,it will work forever except for the moon and planets which move night to night.Get one on line cheap and set it up for your kids,highest educational value,they will love it.

Q: Does anybody know what the change made in fall 2014 was? The price suddently went from $400 to $800. What do you get for a doubling in price?

Let me answer my own question. I emailed Celestron and they answered. There is only 1 SkyScout. It is Model 93970. They were made in 2005 and 2006. Discontinued in 2011. There is no replacement. Nor will there be from Celestron. They have an app called SkyPortal for tablets and it is free. It apparently has more capabilities than SkyScout did.Right now, though, SkyPortal won't work with my Kindle Fire HDX, so I'm still in the market for a Skyscout.
