Celestron has re-built the manual telescope with StarSense Explorer—the main telescope that utilizes your cell phone to analyze the night sky and figure its situation in real-time/continuously. StarSense Explorer is perfect for beginners on account of the app's user-friendly interface and detailed instructional tutorials. It resembles having your very own visit guide of the night sky.

Dock, Launch, Explore
With StarSense Explorer, finding objects has never been simpler, quicker, or more precise. Within a few minutes of setting up the telescope, you will have the option to explore the sky with confidence/certainty. Place your smartphone in the StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer application. In the wake of adjusting your telephone to the optics of telescope, which is a fast, 2-minute method, StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection and arrows appear onscreen, controlling you as you to move the telescope. At the point when the object is prepared to view, the bullseye turns green.

Smartphone Compatibility
StarSense Explorer is compatible with most modern smartphones, including iPhone 6 and up. Also, with most of the devices running Android 7.1.2 or later manufactured since 2016. Click here to check the complete compatibility list.

Patent-Pending StarSense Sky Recognition Technology
StarSense Explorer utilizes patent-pending technology and your cellphone to determine precisely where the telescope is pointed in the pitch-black sky. The telescope uses a Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA), like the ones satellites use in orbit to reorient themselves, help the app match star patterns accurately. It identifies overhead to its central database. Other astronomy applications may assist you with celestial objects; however, they entirely depend on the telephone's gyros and accelerometers, which isn't as precise as LISA innovation. No other application can precisely tell you when your objective is noticeable in the eyepiece.

High-Quality Altazimuth Mount with Slow Motion Control
An ultra-stable altazimuth mount offers a durable base for StarSense Explorer DX. Slip clutches/grips and geared slow-motion controls in both axes, assist you with moving the telescope quickly and zero in your target/object. As celestial objects seem to float across the night sky, you'll have the option to tail them with only a turn of the handles. A customizable, full-stature tripod secures it.

Dazzling Views with High-Quality Optics
Thanks to its large 130mm/5" objective lens, which allows enough light-gathering capacity to bring out impressive detail in celestial objects. You can expect/anticipate sharp, bright views on the rings of Saturn, Jupiter's four Galilean moons, its cloud bands & Great Red Spot the trapezium in the Orion Nebula, and beautiful Pleiades Open Star Cluster. Profoundly intelligent coatings on both the essential and optional mirrors maximize the views even better and more.

Perfect for the City or Dark Sky Sites
Regardless of whether you live in a light-polluted city, StarSense Explorer is advanced enough to find-out Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, the Orion Nebula, double stars, and a couple of a higher amount of the most popular celestial objects. If you take the telescope to an even somewhat darker place, more objects will get visible/noticeable. With this 5" Newtonian and relatively dull skies, the Andromeda Galaxy, Hercules Open Star Cluster, thus a lot more are effectively within your reach. Thanks to the entire telescope pack, which weighs only 18 pounds, so it's perfectly portable and easy to welcome on your next outdoor trip or to a remote watching site.
