Celestron has revolutionized the manual telescope experience with the StarSense Explorer—the first telescope that utilizes your smartphone to analyze the night sky and determine its position in real-time. The StarSense Explorer is an excellent choice for beginners, thanks to the user-friendly app interface and detailed tutorials, which provide a guided tour of the night sky, much like having a personal guide.
Forget about complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and complex computerized mounts. With the StarSense Explorer, locating celestial 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 app. After a quick, 2-minute alignment process, the StarSense Explorer app generates a list of the currently visible celestial objects. Make your selection, and on-screen arrows will guide you as you move the telescope. When the object is ready for viewing, the bullseye turns green.
The StarSense Explorer is compatible with most modern smartphones, including iPhones from the 6th generation and up, as well as Android devices running 7.1.2 or later manufactured since 2016. The telescope's innovative StarSense sky recognition technology utilizes a "Lost in Space Algorithm" (LISA), similar to the ones used by satellites to orient themselves, to match the detected star patterns with its internal database. This technology is more accurate than relying solely on the phone's gyros and accelerometers, as other astronomy apps do.
Unleash the power of your smartphone and embark on a guided tour of the night sky, no telescope experience required. The StarSense Explorer app will lead you to stars, planets, and more, with the telescope doing the hard work. Backed by Celestron's unbeatable warranty and support, the StarSense Explorer is the perfect choice for beginners and seasoned stargazers alike.
