Celestron has reinvented the manual telescope with StarSense Explorerthe first telescope that uses your smartphone to analyze the night sky and calculate its position in real time. StarSense Explorer is ideal for beginners thanks to the apps user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials. Its like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky.

StarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones, including iPhone 6 and up and most devices running Android 7.1.2 or later manufactured since 2016. StarSense Explorer uses patented technology and your smartphone to determine exactly where the telescope is pointed in the night sky. A Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA), like the ones satellites use in orbit to correctly orient themselves, helps the app match star patterns it detects overhead to its internal database.

While other astronomy apps may claim that they can help you find objects, they rely exclusively on the phones gyros and accelerometers, which arent as accurate as LISA technology. No other app can accurately tell you when your target is visible in the eyepiece. An ultra-stable altazimuth mount provides a sturdy foundation for StarSense Explorer DX. Slip clutches and geared slow motion controls in both axes help you move the telescope smoothly and zero in your target. As celestial objects appear to drift across the night sky, youll be able to follow them with just a few turns of the knobs. Its all anchored by an adjustable, full-height tripod. With a large 5in Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube Celestrons tried-and-true optical design for over 50 yearsthis telescope has enough light gathering ability to bring out impressive detail in celestial objects while remaining compact and lightweight. You can expect sharp, bright views of Jupiters four Galilean moons, its cloud bands and Great Red Spot, the rings of Saturn, the trapezium in the Orion Nebula, and the beautiful Pleiades Open Star Cluster.
