The Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 70mm AZ Refractor Telescope is a manual telescope with a difference. Ideal for beginners, this awesome 70mm refractor telescope is equipped with technology that uses your smartphone to analyse the night sky and calculate its position in real-time.
With your StarSense Explore telescope, locating objects in the night sky 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), the StarSense Explorer app on your phone generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection and arrows appear on-screen, guiding you as you to move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green.
The app is ideal for beginners thanks to its user-friendly interface and detailed tutorials. It’s like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky.
The StarSense Explorer app 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.
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.
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.
Your 70mm telescope comes with an AZ mount and tripod which allows you to make altitude slow motion adjustments. A sliding rod makes it easy to follow the on-screen arrows to your desired target.
Your StarSense telescope from Celestron comes with a range of adapters to that you have everything you need to enjoy the night sky. The compact design makes it lightweight and portable so you can take it to remote observing sites.
