Celestron StarSense Explorer LT127AZ star telescope

The StarSense Explorer LT127AZ is a manual stargazing telescope, meaning you don't need to aim it at the North Star. Instead, Celestron has included a phone mount and a smartphone mount to make finding objects in the starry sky easy.

This telescope has a fairly high magnification and a lower focal length. This telescope is better suited for viewing bright objects such as planets and the moon. For observing deep sky objects such as galaxies , we recommend, for example, the big brother model Celestron DX130 .

Tip: the moon can be quite bright to look at. The LT 127 AZ has a two-piece lens cover, just open the inner protective cap and the moon will not be dazzling and it will be easier to admire the details!

Want to learn about constellations, planets or galaxies? Your phone will guide you in which direction you need to turn the tube, and turning is done simply by grabbing the telescope and pointing the tube according to the instructions.

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.
