The Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 102AZ is a true revolution in amateur astronomy. Forget complicated star maps, inaccurate planetarium apps and expensive computerised mounts: with the patented StarSense Explorer system, your smartphone becomes a powerful pointing assistant that automatically recognises the telescope’s exact position in the sky using the brightest stars.
Place your smartphone in the dedicated holder on the mount, launch the StarSense Explorer app and, within a couple of minutes, the wonders of the night sky are ready to be targeted. Select the desired object — Moon, planet, galaxy or nebula — and follow the arrows on screen until it is centred in the eyepiece. Even from city skies, the 102 mm aperture lets you observe the Andromeda Galaxy, the Orion Nebula and many star clusters.
How does the pointing work?
Choose from the list suggested by the app the object you want to observe.
The app shows the direction in which to move the telescope manually.
Move the telescope following the on-screen instructions.
Object centred: start observing.
