Celestron has reinvented the manual telescope with the Starsense Explorer – the first telescope that uses patented sky-recognition technology and your smartphone to analyse the night sky and calculate its position in real time. The Starsense Explorer is ideal for beginners thanks to the app’s user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials, like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky. With Starsense Explorer, simply dock your phone, launch the app and explore the universe. Locating objects has never been easier, faster or more accurate. After you align your phone to the telescope’s optics, Starsense Explorer generates a list of all the best celestial objects currently visible and can guide you to their locations. Even if you live in a light-polluted city, Starsense Explorer is advanced enough to pick out a whole range of celestial objects, including other planets, star clusters and nebulae. The entire telescope kit weighs around five kilograms, so it’s perfectly portable and easy to bring anywhere to observe.
