Celestron™ StarSense Explorer™ Smartphone App-Enabled Telescopes

Description

• 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
• 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 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 arrows appear onscreen, guiding you as you to 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
• Compatibility will show when on home screen when app is launched
• Patent-Pending StarSense Sky Recognition Technology StarSense Explorer™ uses patent-pending 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 reorient themselves, helps the app match star patterns it detects overhead to its internal database
• While other astronomy apps may claim that they can help you find objects, they rely exclusively on the phone's gyros and accelerometers, which aren't't't as accurate as LISA technology
• No other app can accurately tell you when your target is visible in the eyepiece
• Dazzling Views with High Quality Optics 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
• Perfect for the City or Dark Sky Sites Even if you live in a light polluted city location, StarSense Explorer™ is advanced enough to be able to pick out Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, the Orion Nebula, double stars, and a few more of the most famous celestial objects
• But if you can take the telescope to an even slightly darker location, more objects will become visible
• The entire telescope kit weighs just 9.2 pounds, so it’s perfectly portable and easy to bring on your next camping trip or to a remote observing site
