  • QuestionCan you see Saturn's rings - Jupiter Bands & red spot with the 114mm?

    Asked by JakewithStateFarm.

    • Answer Yes, you can see Saturn's rings and Jupiter's Bands. I didn't see the red spot. This is a good beginner telescope and for the price, I recommend it, but if you want more detail and can afford it, then you might want to upgrade from this one.

  • QuestionI live overlooking The ocean. I want to use this to watch the boats and ships come in. Would this be a good choice? Thank you.

    Asked by GrammaJanie.

    • Answer The StarSense Explorer 114mm is a Newtonian Reflector, so the images will appear upside down which is acceptable for astronomical viewing but not for terrestrial viewing. A better choice would be the StarSense Explorer LT 80AZ or StarSense DX 102AZ models which are refractor models that come with an erect image diagonal that is perfect for right side up terrestrial viewing.

  • QuestionDoes celestron star sense explorer 130mm Newtonian reflector telescope include iPhone mount or does this have to be purchased separately

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer If you wana take pictures you need a Celestron YZ axis smart phone adapter. You can take pictures with your slr camera but you need a Barlow and T adapter. The telescope has iPhone mount to guide you through the night sky using Celestron app but not for taking pictures.

  • QuestionDo you have to use this telescope with a smartphone or can you use it as a regular telescope without the smartphone hookup?

    Asked by Ryabmaac.

    • Answer The StarSense Explorer telescope can be used with its eyepieces it came with to observe and does not require a smartphone adapter to be operational.

  • QuestionIs this easy to set up and use for a beginner?

    Asked by JOPPS.

    • Answer The alignment requires some patience but is easy enough. Use is very easy especially with the app.

      Answered by Julf

  • QuestionSupposedly in the previous answered question you can see Saturn’s rings with the 114mm telescope, so is the 130mm worth it or should I save the money and get the 114mm? If you suggest the 130mm what makes it so much better?

    Asked by Brad.

    • Answer 114 vs the 130 refers to the aperture. its is how much light it can gather. ive used a 60mm vs the 114mm and i don't notice to much of a difference except the moons around Jupiter are much more visible. so i would say the 130 would brighten up the moons a bit more and help with deep sky objects such as nebulas, clusters and galaxy's.

  • QuestionDoes it have night vision?

    Asked by Alex.

    • Answer No, the StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ does not have electronic night vision built in, but its primary mirror collects enough faint light to reveal countless galaxies, nebulae and star clusters from a dark sky site away from city light pollution.

  • QuestionWhat Brand and Type of eye pieces are included?

    Asked by Peanut.

    • Answer The 10mm and 25mm eyepieces supplied with the StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ telescope are standard Kellner eyepieces with no particular branding.

      Answered by Telescope

  • Questionwhat type of filter is used to observe the Sun?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer You will need a Solar Safe, ISO compliant white light solar filter. Unfortunately, Celestron does not offer a solar filter for the 130mm Newtonian Reflector optical tube. The filter must be purchased from a solar filter manufacturer.

  • QuestionDoes this come with the Barlow 2x lens that doubles the magnification? I didn't see it listed and didn't assume it did, but in one of the reviews someone mentioned that it came with it.

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer A 2x Barlow lens does not come with the StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ telescope. It will be a separate purchase.

  • QuestionWhat are you able to see at night in the sky, is it able to see mars, lots of constellations?

    Asked by Buckey.

    • Answer We bought this telescope just over a month ago as a little bit of an impulse buy. We are far from being astronomy enthusiasts but, noting how clear the night sky had been around then, and the publicity surrounding a comet that was visible at the time, we thought it would be fun at a reasonable price point. Jupiter and Saturn were bright at the time and we were able to pick them out on the first night we had the telescope after (easily) setting it up during the daylight hours as the instructions advise. We were able to see Jupiter well and even four of its' moons. With Saturn we were able to see the rings which was cool. However, they do appear very small in the viewfinder, even at max magnification. Saturn's rings were tiny but visible, and Jupiter's moons appeared as tiny pinpricks of light aligned with the planet. It was clear what we were looking at, and pretty interesting, but was far from the color illustrations of the planets you see in textbooks and on the internet. Someone said it was possible to see the 'spot' on Jupiter's surface - we were certainly not able to do that. The only time we got a 'textbook' view of anything was looking at the moon's surface which was really clear and fantastically detailed. I'm hoping this doesn't sound negative because overall we have had a very positive experience with this and with the ease of use in particular. Moving forward we are likely to be occasional - and happy - users of this telescope.

  • QuestionCan you see the andromeda Galaxy using this telescope?

    Asked by RaulT.

    • Answer Yes, the StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ telescope's 5" primary mirror gathers enough light, so you can observe galaxies and nebulae. The best views will be seen from a dark sky site away from city light pollution. The Andromeda Galaxy M31 and galaxies M81 and M82 are all easily visible in dark skies with this telescope.

  • QuestionAny guidance on what lens I can purchase to see planets and stars more closely other than standard included 25mm, 10mm. What is maximum allowed with this telescope.

    Asked by Trav2021.

    • Answer The StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ telescope's highest useful magnification is 307x. However under most normal seeing conditions, such extreme magnification will be too much for the telescope resulting in blurry views. We recommend to add a 2x Barlow Lens to double the magnifications of the included 25mm and 10mm eyepieces when steady seeing conditions (less turbulent atmosphere) allows.

  • QuestionHi, Is the image inverted if you look at land objects, like boats on the ocean? If it is inverted, is there a way to get it flipped? Thanks.

    Asked by Inverted.

    • Answer The view through a StarSense Explorer 130mm Newtonian Reflector telescope is upside-down. It is the nature of the optics itself and is generally not recommended for terrestrial viewing. You can help to minimize this effect, by standing at the front and off to the side of the telescope. While facing towards the rear of the telescope, look through the eyepiece, and the objects will appear right-side-again.

  • Questioncan i hook a 35 mm camera to this scope ?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Yes, a 35mm DSLR camera can be attached to the StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ telescope. A Celestron Universal Barlow and T-Adapter and a camera specific T-Ring for Canon or Nikon, for example, will be needed.

  • QuestionI live in central Florida, will I be able to see night launches from Cape Canaveral?

    Asked by RayRiggs.

    • Answer It is possible, but due to the speed as the rocket accelerates, you will most likely lose seeing the rocket in the telescope's field of view. Viewing the launch using binoculars or your naked eyes would be a better choice.

      Answered by Telescope

  • QuestionIs this telescope compatible with a Canon EOS Rebel T7 DSLR video camera?

    Asked by KarlaM.

    • Answer The Rebel T7 camera can be adapted to the DC130AZ using the appropriate T-ring for the camera and the Celestron 1 1/4-inch Barlow T-adapter as seen here: https://www.celestron.com/products/t-ring-for-canon-eos-ef-mount-camera and https://www.celestron.com/products/universal-barlow-and-t-adapter-125in However, the camera will create an offset imbalance on a telescope this small and counterweights will be needed to balance the telescope with the camera attached. Celestron does not sell counterweights for the DX130AZ.

      Answered by Telescope

  • QuestionIs cellular or WiFi access required for using the smartphone app?

    Asked by DataRequirements.

    • Answer The Starsense Explorer phone app is completely self-contained and does not need a cell or wifi connection to operate. The StarSense Explorer app itself is large and will take a while to download, so if available, a wifi connection to download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, is recommended. Once installed on your phone and activated, the Starsense Explorer app is stand-alone and does not need a wifi or cell connection.
