Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope

Celestron has reinvented the manual telescope with StarSense Explorer—the 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 app's user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials, providing a personal tour guide of the night sky.

Dock, Launch, Explore: Leave behind complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and computerized mounts. With StarSense Explorer, locating 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 StarSense Explorer app. After aligning your phone to the telescope's optics (a quick, 2-minute procedure), StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection, and on-screen arrows guide you as you move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green.

Smartphone Compatibility: 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 Sky Recognition Technology: StarSense Explorer uses 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 they can help you find objects, they rely exclusively on the phone's gyros and accelerometers, which aren't as accurate as LISA technology. No other app can accurately tell you when your target is visible in the eyepiece.

Unbeatable Warranty and Support: Buy with confidence from Celestron, a leading telescope brand in California since 1960. Your purchase includes a 2-Year US Warranty and unlimited support from our team of US-based experts.

In conclusion, the StarSense Explorer reinvents the manual telescope experience by leveraging your smartphone's power to guide you through the night sky. With its user-friendly interface, accurate sky recognition technology, and comprehensive support, it's the perfect tool for beginners and experienced stargazers alike.
