You can now get a Celestron SkyScout for $299. This is the fun device that you point at stars and it tells you what you're pointing to. Or it helps you find specific celestial objects. I mentioned it a couple of years ago.
Celestron is having a $100 rebate till June 15th. I'm not sure if this is just due to competition from Meade's MySky (also $299) or if there is a new model coming out. I only looked a little, but while the MySky has better features they don't seem to work as well (difficulty acquiring GPS).
Celestron also has a new telescope, the SkyScout Scope 90 specifically designed to mount a SkyScout to. Universe Today gave it a very good review. Adorama carries it also for $299.
If anyone has experiences with any of the above, I'd be interested in hearing about them. Cloudy Nights does have a forum specifically for the Celestron SkyScout and Meade mySky.
