Product Details
Celestron's StarSense Explorer revolutionizes the manual telescope experience by utilizing your smartphone to analyze the night sky and calculate its position in real-time, making it ideal for beginners with its user-friendly app interface and detailed tutorials. The kit includes a sturdy altazimuth mount, and the telescope is capable of quickly navigating the sky through a straightforward process that involves placing your smartphone in the StarSense dock and aligning it with the telescope's optics. The StarSense Explorer app generates a list of visible celestial objects, providing guided arrows on-screen, with a bullseye indicator that turns green when an object is ready to view. It is compatible with most modern smartphones, including iPhone 6 and later, as well as devices running Android 7.1.2 or later, manufactured since 2016. The patent-pending StarSense Sky Recognition Technology employs a Lost In Space Algorithm (LISA) to accurately determine the telescope's orientation, providing enhanced precision compared to other astronomy apps that rely solely on gyros and accelerometers.
