Description
xCelestron 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.
Dock, Launch, Explore. Leave complicated star charts behind. With StarSense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier. Simply place your phone in the unique StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer app. After aligning your phone to the telescope's optics, StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible.
Patented StarSense Sky Recognition Technology uses patented technology and your smartphone to determine exactly where the telescope is pointed in the night sky. A Lost in Space Algorithm helps the app match star patterns overhead to its internal database.
Sturdy Altazimuth Mount. StarSense Explorer LT's simple altazimuth mount makes it easy to move the telescope to find your target. An altitude slow motion adjustment with a sliding rod helps you fine tune the telescope's pointing position and follow targets as they appear to drift across the night sky. It's all anchored by an adjustable, full-height tripod.
High Quality Optics. You can expect sharp, bright views through this 70mm refractor. Fully coated glass optics provide increased light transmission. The telescope also includes a 90-degree erect image diagonal, so you can use it during the day to view birds, wildlife, landscapes, and more.
Perfect for the City or Dark Sky Sites. 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.
Kit includes 25mm and 10mm eyepieces, 2x Barlow Lens, StarSense smartphone dock, erect image diagonal, red dot finderscope, and full-height tripod. The entire telescope kit weighs just 7.4 pounds.
