As the first telescope that utilises your smartphone for real-time night sky analysis & positioning, the Celestron Star Sense Explorer is an exciting new prospect for those looking to take their first steps into stargazing. It works through the Star Sense Explorer app, which auto-generates visible points of interest & directs you towards them. When the telescope has been manually aligned, the bullseye will turn green
- allowing you to look through the eyepiece & gaze at planets, brighter nebulae & galaxies, & even some star clusters. Classified as a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope system, you are granted a 12cm (5"") optical tube consisting of key Star Bright XLT coatings. The manual altazimuth mount further provides smooth, dual-axis slow-mo control as you navigate the night sky & discover distant points of interest. This specific system is compatible with an iPhone 6 & up, as well as Android 7.1.2 or later (since 2016).
