Maybe you too are tempted to stare at the darkened sky every clear evening, but you just don't know how to do it. Where, what and how to look. Celestron's new StarSense Explorer telescope series makes it possible for everyone. Quality beginner amateur telescopes coupled with controls on your smartphone will guide you through the night sky. You might even get your/our kids to stare at their phones for a while.
Celestron StarSense Explorer is the first handheld telescope that uses your smartphone to analyze the night sky and calculate your location in real time. Getting started with stargazing and locating objects in the sky like a pro has never been easier, faster or more accurate.
Celestron's companion StarSense Explorer app eliminates the technical hurdles of using a telescope and allows anyone to locate stars, planets or nebulae using just a smartphone. Without investing in an expensive motorized computerized telescope. Simply load the free StarSense Explorer app onto your smartphone, place it in the unique holder supplied with theaffordable and award-winning StarSense Explorer telescope, and your smartphone turns into a high-end celestial object finder and night sky guide. GPS is all you need to use the app, no mobile carrier signal required!
Thanks to the StarSense Explorer app's unique patented star-search technology, which uses your phone's GPS navigation and the "Lost in Space" algorithm to find stars. (LISA) algorithm, which is used for example for large satellites, it generates a list of currently visible celestial objects and offers you observations of planets, nebulae, star clusters or galaxies. StarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones, including the iPhone 6 and later and most devices running Android 7.1.2 or later as of 2016. You can easily verify compatibility by downloading the free app to your phone and if you open it, your device is compatible. It is advisable to download the app before purchasing the telescope, however, it is not functional without the StarSense Explorer telescope.
The easy-to-use alt-azimuth mount and zero internal electronics make setup of all StarSense Explorer models very easy and quick. Slow movement with the sliding rod and simultaneous tracking of the arrows on the phone screen makes it easy to find the desired target. When the target turns green, it is ready to be viewed in the eyepiece of the scope.
