Hi Matt,
I have a Skyscout and a Meade MySky.
Both are good fun things.
Both can be inprecise and affected by magnetic fields and obstacles.

The MySky is more precise. Too precise sometimes for the human aiming ability.

The skyscount on the other hand will often give the same object as being several degrees apart. (ie 2 close objects it cant differentiate).

Neither are good to mount on a scope as a finder.

But they are helpful.

There is a skyscout for sale in the Trade section as I recall.
You may get it for a good price. Which is the best way to buy because it is so much more expensive compared to the MySky.

Hope that helps a little !
