Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ Smartphone Telescope

The Celestron StarSense Explorer is a revolutionary manual telescope that harnesses the power of your smartphone to guide you through the night sky. Designed with beginners in mind, this innovative tool offers an unparalleled stargazing experience.

Ditch the complicated star charts and imprecise planetarium apps – with the StarSense Explorer, locating celestial objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Simply place your phone in the unique dock, launch the user-friendly app, and let the technology do the work. Within minutes of setup, you'll be navigating the sky with confidence, thanks to the app's detailed tutorials and guided instructions.

The key to the StarSense Explorer's success lies in its patented StarSense sky recognition technology. This one-of-a-kind system uses your smartphone's sensors to analyze star patterns overhead and calculate the telescope's precise position in real-time. Unlike other astronomy apps that rely solely on the phone's gyros and accelerometers, the StarSense Explorer's Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA) provides unmatched accuracy, ensuring you always know when your target object is in view.

The StarSense Explorer app takes the guesswork out of stargazing, generating a personalized list of the best objects to view based on your exact time and location. Whether you're in the city or a darker site, the app will guide you to everything from planets and brighter nebulae to distant galaxies and faint, deep-sky objects.

Designed for easy operation, the StarSense Explorer features a manual altazimuth mount with slow-motion controls, allowing you to simply follow the on-screen arrows to your desired target. When the bullseye turns green, you'll know the object is ready to view through the telescope's high-quality 114mm Newtonian reflector.

The StarSense Explorer's smartphone compatibility is equally impressive, working with most modern iPhones (6 and up) and Android devices (running 7.1.2 or later, manufactured since 2016). With this telescope, you can unleash the power of your smartphone and embark on a guided tour of the night sky, no prior experience required.

Backed by Celestron's unbeatable warranty and support, the StarSense Explorer is the perfect choice for beginners and experienced stargazers alike. Unlock the wonders of the cosmos and let your iPhone or Android device be your personal tour guide to the stars.
