Should I get a star map, like the Celestron Sky Map or should I get a sky computer like the Meade MySky Plus or the Celestron Skyscout? Best answer is to get both a star map and a MySky Plus. There is some overlap, of course, but both are quite different tools with different features. Once you learn how to use a star map, it is your best choice for learning how to trace the outline of constellations, but the MySky Plus will help pinpoint and identify the main stars in the constellation.
