I tend to agree. Whilst the mySky appears to be pretty accurate in its location, this is at a magnification of one. Bump the magnification up to 50x or so and I think you would find the object may not even be in the FOV of your scope. I expect the SkyScout will perform similarly.

Nonetheless, it would be a worthwhile exercise. You can always try it and let us know.

The one thing I am thinking of making for the mySky is some sort of bracket to allow me to attach a laser to it. I just need to work out some way of turning the laser on temporarily while I point it, I would not recommend having something to leave it on permanently while looking for something...a bit dangerous.
