Brand: Celestron
Celestron has reinvented the manual telescope with StarSense Explorer, the first 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. Dock, Launch, Explore Leave complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and computerized mounts behind. With 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 onscreen, guiding you as you move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green. High Quality Optics and Altazimuth Mount You can expect sharp, bright views through this 80mm refractor. Fully coated glass optics provide increased light transmission, enhancing details in celestial objects. The telescope also includes a 90-degree erect image diagonal, so you can use it during the day to view birds, wildlife, landscapes, and more. StarSense Explorer LT’s simple altazimuth mount makes it easy to move the telescope to find your target. A slow-motion altitude adjustment knob helps you fine tune the telescope’s pointing position and follow targets as they appear to drift across the night sky. It’s all anchored by an adjustable, full-height tripod. The entire kit weighs just 9.2 pounds. Compatibility StarSense Explorer works with iPhone 6 and up and most devices running Android 7.1.2 or later manufactured since 2016. For a complete compatibility list, visit celestron.com/sse
