"Can I find planets with the Meade MySky?" Yes, you can find planets, stars and many other type of celestial objects with either the Meade My Sky or the Celestron Skyscout. These handheld star computers are not just for locating stars, though that will be the most frequent use, since there will always be many more stars visible on a given night than planets. Keep in mind that only Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Venus will appear as anything more than an average star. The other planets are either too small or too distant to appear as more than just another star. Tehy will be more of a challenge to loacate.
