Celestron has reinvented the manual telescope with StarSense Explorer—the first telescope that uses patented technology and your smartphone to analyze the night sky and calculate its position in real time. StarSense Explorer is ideal for beginners thanks to the app’s user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials. It’s like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky. Dock, Launch, Explore: Leave complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps and computerized mounts behind. With StarSense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Within minutes of setting up the telescope, you’ll be navigating the sky with confidence. Simply place your phone in the unique StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer app. After aligning your phone to the telescope’s optics (a quick, 2-minute procedure), StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection and arrows appear onscreen, guiding you as you move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green. StarSense Explorer is compatible with: Android – The minimum supported operating system is Android 12 and iOS – The minimum supported operating system is iOS 18. The minimum supported iPhone models are iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max.
STARSENSE EXPLORER LT REFLECTOR TELESCOPE: 127mm (5”) Newtonian reflector with highly reflective coatings and enough light gathering ability to view all the best celestial objects.
PATENTED STARSENSE SKY RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY: uses your smartphone to analyse star patterns overhead, calculating position in real time via a “Lost in space algorithm” (LISA).
STARSENSE EXPLORER APP: automatically generate a list of objects visible overhead. View planets, brighter nebulae and galaxies, star clusters and double stars from the city. Or take your telescope to darker skies to view faint, deep sky objects.
STABLE, SLOW-MOTION CONTROL: Manual altazimuth mount with smooth, dual-axis slow-motion controls makes it easy to follow the on-screen arrows to your desired target. When the bullseye turns green, it’s ready to view in the telescope’s eyepiece.
