Orion Skyline Green Laser Pointer and Bracket for SkyScout

There is a practical accessory on the market that makes the Celestron SkyScout even easier and more fun to use. Simply mount the SkyLine Green Laser Pointer to the side of the SkyScout and you will see exactly where SkyScout is pointed. No more craning your neck back and holding a tired arm over your head -just sight through the SkyScout with your eye glued to the lens. In fact, you won't have to view through the SkyScout at all! Instead, just hold it in any comfortable position and point the side-mounted SkyLine's 3-5 milliwatt green laser beam at the star or object you want to ID. Then hit the Target button and read the object's description from SkyScout's LCD panel. Easy!

The custom-designed, dual-ring ABS bracket threads with a single screw (included) into the socket on the side of the SkyScout. Thumbscrews and a spring-loaded X-Y adjustment on the bracket's rings allow quick alignment of the laser pointer with the SkyScout. This accessory will not interfere with the SkyScout's GPS system or pointing accuracy. And the Skyline pointer can be removed from the bracket at any time for use as a standalone pointer to show others what's up in the night sky.

The SkyScout by Celestron is the coolest astronomical gadget on the market today. Make it even cooler with the SkyLine Green Laser Pointer and Bracket! Great for individual or group use of the SkyScout.
