Celestron StarSense Explorer 114mm Tabletop Dobsonian Smartphone Telescope

Celestron's StarSense Explorer revolutionizes the Tabletop Dobsonian telescope, combining sky recognition technology and your smartphone to provide a user-friendly stargazing experience. This innovative telescope analyzes and tracks celestial objects in real-time, eliminating the need for complex star charts and imprecise planetarium apps.

With the user-friendly app interface and detailed tutorials, stargazing feels like having a personal tour guide. Setting up the telescope is a breeze, and within minutes, you'll be confidently navigating the night sky. Simply place your phone in the StarSense dock, launch the app, and perform a quick alignment. The app then generates a list of visible celestial objects specific to your location, and arrows guide your telescope as you move it towards the selected object.

The StarSense Explorer's 114mm parabolic primary mirror offers excellent light-gathering capabilities, providing detailed views of celestial wonders like Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings, and the Orion Nebula. The stable Tabletop Dobsonian base provides a sturdy foundation, ensuring smooth motion in altitude and azimuth through the use of Teflon bearings and an integrated altitude "brake" system.

The tube cradle allows for easy positioning, and an eyepiece rack keeps extra eyepieces within reach. The StarSense Explorer is compatible with iPhone 6 and newer models, as well as most Android devices manufactured since 2016 and running Android 7.1.2 or later.

The patented StarSense sky recognition technology is the key to this telescope's unique capabilities. It uses your smartphone to analyze star patterns overhead and calculate its position in real-time, guiding you to the best celestial objects to view. The app generates a list of tonight's best objects to view, taking into account your exact time and location, allowing you to observe planets, brighter nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters from the city, as well as fainter, deep-sky objects from darker locations.

The ease of use and the power of the StarSense Explorer make it an ideal choice for both beginner and experienced stargazers. With its user-friendly interface and cutting-edge technology, this telescope revolutionizes the way you explore the night sky, unleashing the power of your smartphone to guide you on a captivating celestial journey.
