Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 5 Smartphone App-Enabled Telescope
Product Details
Experience smartphone-guided astronomy with the Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 5, the first telescope to use your smartphone's camera and patented sky recognition technology to analyse the night sky and calculate its position in real time. This 127mm (5-inch) Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope combines award-winning optics with intuitive app-based guidance, making it ideal for beginners and casual observers. Simply dock your phone, launch the StarSense Explorer app powered by SkySafari, and follow on-screen arrows to automatically generated lists of visible celestial objects. The app's "Lost in Space Algorithm" (LISA) technology pinpoints your telescope's location with satellite-grade precision, delivering accurate guidance that gyroscope-based apps cannot match.
- 5-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube with 1250mm focal length (f/10) and 127mm aperture for impressive light-gathering ability
- StarBright XLT multi-coatings enhance contrast and light transmission for brighter, sharper views of planets, nebulae, galaxies and star clusters
- Ultra-stable altazimuth mount with dual-axis slow-motion controls for smooth, precise tracking of celestial objects
- Includes 25mm and 10mm eyepieces (50X and 125X magnification), smartphone dock, red dot finderscope, erect image diagonal and full-height adjustable tripod
- Compatible with most modern smartphones including iPhone 6+ and Android devices running version 7.1.2 or later (manufactured since 2016)
