A:AnswerHave not had a chance to explore everything it does but i do know that the phone will scan the sky, identify the objects it sees and then direct you where to point the telescope almost like a gun sitet
A:AnswerNo. The StarSense app is used to in conjunction with the phone holder and mirror to examine the sky to see where the telescope is facing - it is not actually using the telescope to look at the sky. If you want to take pictures, you will need to connect a camera to the eyepiece using the necessary adaptor.
