Celestron has reinvented the manual telescope with StarSense Explorer—the first telescope that uses patented technology and 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 move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green. Smartphone Compatibility: StarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones, including iPhone 6 and up and most devices running Android 7.1.2 or later manufactured since 2016. Sturdy Altazimuth Mount: StarSense Explorer LT’s simple altazimuth mount makes it easy to move the telescope to find your target. An altitude slow motion adjustment with a sliding rod helps you fine tune the telescope’s pointing position and follow targets as they appear to drift across the night sky. Dazzling Views with High Quality Optics: You can expect sharp, bright views through this 70mm refractor, even if you live in a light polluted city location. Fully coated glass optics provide increased light transmission, enhancing details in celestial objects. The telescope also includes a 90-degree erect image diagonal, so you can use it during the day to view birds, wildlife, landscapes, and more.

Ordered this as an upgrade for our avid stargazer Son. He loves it!Instructions clear and well built - took around 20 minutes to complete the assembly.One small problem. The laser sight was damaged so we need to organise a replacement. These things happen I suppose.

Star Sense hat mit einem Samsung M30 nicht funktioniert. Mit dem IPhone sofort, wegen der besseren Kamera. Alle Objekte werden absolut präzise angefahren. Die Bildqualität des kleinen LT70AZ ist hervorragend. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit können viele Objekte betrachtet werden. Mein Test mit einem GOTO Teleskop war dagegen wenig erfolgreich. Noch eine Anmerkung zur Anwendung. Das Teleskop hat schon ein eher kleines Sichtfeld. Hat aber den Vorteil, das wegen der hohen Präzision beim Finden, genau das Objekt gezeigt wird. Ich konnte sogar Uranus finden. Wegen des leichten Gelbstichs, üblich bei einfachen Refraktoren, zeigte sich bei Vergrößerung der Uranus als kleine blaue Scheibe. Das muss man erstmal hinbekommen. Mein großen farbreines Newton Teleskop zeigt in diesem Bereich mehrere Objekte, so das ich Uranus nicht sicher identifizieren konnte. Für Deep Sky Objekte ist allerdings eine größere Öffnung sinnvoll.

Allegedly the intro model to the professional range but this scope is out of this world for clarity and ease of use, highly recommended

Telescopio non eccessivamente grande, ma al contempo di ottima fattura soprattutto per il prezzo.Il fatto che sia abbastanza piccolo consente di usarlo più spesso di quanto facevo in precedenza con uno 130/1000 su eq2... Il plus è Starsense, che senza conoscenza si può usare per cercare e trovare molto nel deepsky.. Mi dispiace non poter mettere foto della nebulosa di Orione perché non ho un porta smartphone da collegare all'oculare, ma garantisco che mi ha sorpreso!!Consiglio di abbinarlo all'oculare Svbony 7/21mm, così si può passare facilmente da un giove ben visibile nelle bande colorate a qualche nebulosa (cielo permettendo) senza dover allontanarsi per cercare altri oculari. Direi ottimo, specie per chi vuole iniziare a fare osservazioni senza spendere cifre astronomiche 😅5 stelle meritatissime!!!

Does as promised. Good quality especially for those who never owned a telescope before. Suits the professional and the amateur. However the mobile application isn’t absolutely the best but the product itself is really good.
