    Nice scope, great for beginners!

    This telescope arrived quickly with no shipping damage. Upon opening I found it easy to assemble and we were able to play around looking at a full moon within minutes. We have yet to delve into the computer controlled star tracking, but anticipate it wont be too complicated based on our experience so far!

    Great telescope

    I bought this for my 15 year old Grandson who expressed an interest in astronomy. I was impressed with the automatic tracking and location library and it works.

    Love it

    Was looking for a new hobby to pass the time during the quarantine and this was perfect. It’s important to read all the information and set it up with a friend if possible to fully understand how it works. If you don’t you will just get frustrated, but I can assure you it’s worth taking the time to understand

Celestron - Starsense Explorer DX 130AZ Smartphone App-Enabled Newtonian Reflector Telescope - Silver/Black

Celestron 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. It’s like having your own personal tour guide of the night sky.Dock, Launch, Explore. Leave complicated star charts, imprecise planetarium apps, and computerized mounts behind. With StarSense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Within minutes of setting up the telescope, you’ll be navigating the sky with confidence. Simply place your phone in the unique StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer app. After aligning your phone to the telescope’s optics (a quick, 2-minute procedure), StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection and arrows appear onscreen, guiding you as you to move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green. Smartphone Compatibility, StarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones; it is compatible with Android 12 and later, as well as iOS 18 and newer, including iPhone XR and newer models. Users with older phones can still use this app, but will not be able to reinstall the app if they uninstall it. Patented StarSense Sky Recognition Technology - StarSense Explorer uses patented technology and your smartphone to determine exactly where the telescope is pointed in the night sky. A Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA), like the ones satellites use in orbit to correctly orient themselves, helps the app match star patterns it detects overhead to its internal database. While other astronomy apps may claim that they can help you find objects, they rely exclusively on the phone’s gyros and accelerometers, which aren’t as accurate as LISA technology. No other app can accurately tell you when your target is visible in the eyepiece. High Quality Altazimuth Mount with Slow Motion Control - An ultra-stable altazimuth mount provides a sturdy foundation for StarSense Explorer DX. Slip clutches and geared slow motion controls in both axes help you move the telescope smoothly and zero in your target. As celestial objects appear to drift across the night sky, you’ll be able to follow them with just a few turns of the knobs. It’s all anchored by an adjustable, full-height tripod. Dazzling Views with High Quality Optics. With a large 130mm (5”) objective lens, this telescope has enough light gathering ability to bring out impressive detail in celestial objects. You can expect sharp, bright views of Jupiter’s four Galilean moons, its cloud bands and Great Red Spot, the rings of Saturn, the trapezium in the Orion Nebula, and beautiful Pleiades Open Star Cluster. Highly reflective coatings on both the primary and secondary mirror enhance the views even 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. With this 5” Newtonian and relatively dark skies, the Andromeda Galaxy, Hercules Open Star Cluster, and so many more are easily within your reach. The entire telescope kit weighs just 18 pounds, so it’s perfectly portable and easy to bring on your next camping trip or to a remote observing site. Everything You Need to Observe Immediately. When you unbox your new StarSense Explorer DX, you’ll find: 130mm Newtonian reflector optical tube, StarSense dock for your smartphone, Low powered (25mm) and high powered (10mm) eyepiece, StarPointer red dot finderscope, perfect for using the telescope during the day or without the StarSense Explorer app, Altazimuth mount with slow motion controls, Full-height tripod with an accessory tray to keep you organized.

Questions & Answers
  • I don't know much about telescopes ..but what I've read about them will this be strong enough to see the planets?

    Yes, the 114mm Newtonian Reflector Telescope is powerful enough to reveal Saturn's rings, Jupiter's cloud bands and four of its brightest moons, Venus' phases, and subtle features on Mars during a favorable opposition. With its 9mm eyepiece (111x), you will also see a lot. Sincerely, Garrett at Celestron

    Answered by Telescope
  • What kind of batteries are needed and is there an alternate AC power option? I want to use this out in the country away from home and want to be sure it will work for a couple of hours.

    8 user supplied AA alkaline batteries are required, or you can use an external Celestron PowerTank Lithium battery.

    Answered by Telescope
  • Does this telescope need a memory card to function

    The LCM 114mm Newtonian Reflector Telescope comes with a preprogrammed computerized NexStar+ hand control to operate, so no memory card is necessary. Sincerely, Garrett at Celestron
