Celestron StarSense Explorer DX6' SCT star telescope

Celestron has included a phone mount for the telescope and the Starsense app for your smartphone, which makes it easy to find objects in the starry sky. Your phone will guide you in which direction you need to turn the telescope!

• With Starsense, you don't need any previous experience with stargazing telescopes or a detailed knowledge of constellations! You can get started right away and start searching for targets.
• Tonight's best - the best items to watch every day
• 6' Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with StarBright XLT coating
• Sturdy manually movable alt-az tripod, with fine-tuning of movements you can view even the most distant objects
• The sales package includes 10mm and 40mm eyepieces, a StarSense phone mount, a red dot sight, a corner mirror that is also suitable for viewing terrestrial objects, a tripod, and a license for the phone program.

The Schmidt-Cassegrain design makes the telescope small in size despite its 1500mm focal length. This makes it easy to carry around in your backyard or car if you want to get the best possible viewing position for fainter objects.

StarSense Explorer App for your phone

Celestron's StarSense Explorer is the first app available for consumer telescopes that allows you to use your smartphone to orient yourself to objects in the starry sky.

From the phone app, you simply select the object you want to observe. The app will instruct you in which direction to turn the telescope. The position indicated by the telescope will update in real time on the phone screen, and when you are at the desired object, the cursor will turn green.

Tonight's Best

Stargazing usually starts with learning a few constellations and locating them in the sky with the naked eye. Tonight's Best is a feature of the Starsense Explorer app that suggests the best objects to view at the moment. The list is updated according to your location, meaning the app offers the objects that are visible from your location. Depending on the season, location and time of day, the list may include planets like Jupiter or Saturn, galaxies, nebulae or star clusters.
