I have a Sky Scout and really enjoy it...but not for pointing a telescope.

I've found it a very handy thing for my kids...particularly on bright stars and planets. My kids learn from it and stay out of my hair while I look through my scope(s).

It is negatively impacted by magnetic interference if I get it too close to metal (including my big watch).

I'd put it in the "fun to have" but not essential category.

If pointing a telescope is what you want to do then I strongly encourage you to consider an Argo Navis...thye are top shelf!
