Does anyone (that's coming to the Perseid Party) have a Celestron SkyScout?


I've seen those in the Fry's ads, they look cool! Don't know much about them, though. I'll have to save up and own one before next year's party.

Incidentally, there's an article on Slashdot today about the Aurigids on Sept 1st! Fantastic rare show!
This article has a cool meteor rate feature:

Set the calculator for Perseids and you can see the rate for a given time at a given location (from 12/hour at 11pm to 48/hour at 5am SF)
