Description

Celestron has reinvented the manual telescope with StarSense Explorer, the first Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that uses patent-pending sky recognition technology and your smartphone to analyze the sky and calculate its position in real time. Thanks to the app’s user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials, it’s like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky. Leave complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and computerized mounts behind. With the Popular Science StarSense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Within minutes, you’ll be navigating the sky with confidence. Place your phone in the unique StarSense dock and launch the app. After a simple, 2-minute alignment procedure, StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make a selection, and arrows appear on-screen, guiding you as you move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green. This Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope is equipped with Celestron’s proprietary StarBright XLT optical coatings. Its 5” aperture—the largest in the StarSense Explorer lineup—offers enough light gathering ability to deliver impressive views, especially when you bring it to a dark sky location. Enjoy sharp, bright views of Jupiter’s four Galilean moons, its cloud bands, Great Red Spot, the rings of Saturn, the trapezium in the Orion Nebula, and the beautiful Pleiades Open Star Cluster. An ultra-stable altazimuth mount with full-height tripod anchors the telescope. Slip clutches and geared slow-motion controls in both axes help you scan the sky smoothly, following objects with just a turn of the knobs. Popular Science by Celestron StarSense Explorer works with iPhone 6 and up and most devices running Android 7.1.2 or later manufactured since 2016.
