Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ Smartphone-Enabled Telescope

UNLEASH THE POWER OF YOUR SMARTPHONE: No telescope experience is required to embark on a guided tour of the night sky with your iPhone or Android phone. Simply follow the on-screen arrows to locate stars, planets, and more.

PATENTED STARSENSE SKY RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY: This one-of-a-kind telescope utilizes patented, award-winning StarSense sky recognition technology and your smartphone to analyze overhead star patterns and calculate its position in real-time.

STARSENSE EXPLORER APP: Based on your exact time and location, the app generates a list of the best celestial objects to view, including planets, brighter nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters from the city, as well as fainter, deep-sky objects from darker sites.

EASY TO SET UP AND USE: The manual altazimuth mount with smooth, dual-axis slow-motion controls makes it simple to follow the on-screen arrows and locate your desired target. When the bullseye turns green, the object is ready to be viewed through the telescope's eyepiece.

HIGH-QUALITY 130MM NEWTONIAN REFLECTOR: The 5" primary mirror features highly reflective coatings and enough light-gathering ability to provide stunning views of the Moon's craters, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, and Pleiades Open Star Cluster.

UNBEATABLE WARRANTY & SUPPORT: Purchase with confidence from Celestron, a leading telescope brand in California since 1960. Your purchase includes a 2-Year US Warranty and unlimited support from our team of US-based experts.

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, providing a personalized tour guide experience of the night sky.

Forget about complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and computerized mounts. With 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, StarSense Explorer generates a list of currently visible objects, and on-screen arrows guide you as you move the telescope. When the target is ready to view, the bullseye turns green.

StarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones, including iPhone 6 and up, and Android devices running 7.1.2 or later, manufactured since 2016. The telescope utilizes patented StarSense sky recognition technology, which is more accurate than relying solely on a phone's gyros and accelerometers, as used by other astronomy apps. The Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA) helps the app match detected star patterns to its internal database, providing unparalleled precision in determining the telescope's position.
