Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ Smartphone Telescope

Celestron has reinvented the manual telescope with the StarSense Explorer—the first telescope that uses your smartphone to analyze the night sky and calculate its position in real time. This innovative technology is a game-changer for beginner astronomers, making it easier than ever to explore the cosmos.

The StarSense Explorer's user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials provided by the accompanying app make it an ideal choice for those new to stargazing. It's like having a personal tour guide of the night sky, guiding you through the wonders of the celestial landscape.

Leave complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and computerized mounts behind. With the StarSense Explorer, locating celestial 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 app. After a quick 2-minute alignment process, the app generates a list of objects currently visible in the night sky. Make your selection, and on-screen arrows will guide you as you move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green, indicating it's ready to be observed through the eyepiece.

The StarSense Explorer is compatible with most modern smartphones, including iPhone 6 and up, as well as Android devices running 7.1.2 or later, manufactured since 2016.

The key to the StarSense Explorer's accuracy lies in its patented sky recognition technology. Unlike other astronomy apps that rely on a smartphone's built-in gyros and accelerometers, the StarSense Explorer uses a Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA), similar to the ones used by satellites in orbit, to match the detected star patterns with its internal database. This ensures a level of precision that other apps simply cannot match.

With the StarSense Explorer, you can unleash the power of your smartphone to embark on a guided tour of the night sky, no telescope experience required. Just follow the arrows to locate stars, planets, and a wealth of other celestial wonders.

Celestron, a leading telescope brand in California since 1960, stands behind the StarSense Explorer with a 2-Year US Warranty and unlimited support from their team of US-based experts. Buy with confidence and get ready to explore the cosmos like never before.
