Celestron StarSense Explorer 130mm Tabletop Telescope - Smartphone App-Enabled for Stargazing

Celestron's StarSense Explorer revolutionizes the Tabletop Dobsonian telescope, combining sky recognition technology and your smartphone to analyze and track celestial objects in real-time. The user-friendly app interface and detailed tutorials make stargazing feel like having a personal tour guide, bidding farewell to complex star charts and imprecise planetarium apps.

With StarSense Explorer, locating objects has become easy, fast, and highly accurate. The setup process is a breeze, and within minutes, you'll confidently navigate the night sky. Simply place your phone in the StarSense dock, launch the app, and perform a quick alignment. The app then generates a list of visible celestial objects specific to your location, with arrows guiding your telescope as you move it towards the selected object, and a green bullseye indicating when it's ready to view.

Boasting a 130mm parabolic primary mirror, this telescope offers excellent light-gathering capabilities, delivering detailed views of celestial wonders like Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings, and the Orion Nebula. The stable Tabletop Dobsonian base provides a sturdy foundation, compact and lightweight for easy transport, with smooth motion in altitude and azimuth ensured by Teflon bearings and an integrated altitude "brake" system for tension adjustment. The tube rings and a dovetail bar allow for easy positioning, and an eyepiece rack keeps extra eyepieces within reach.

StarSense Explorer is compatible with iPhone 6 and newer models, as well as most Android devices manufactured since 2016 and running Android 7.1.2 or later. Unlock the power of your smartphone and embark on a guided tour of the night sky, no telescope experience required. Celestron's patented StarSense sky recognition technology analyzes star patterns overhead, calculating its position in real-time and providing a list of the best objects to view based on your exact time and location, whether it's from the city or a darker location.
