Description

Introducing the Celestron Starsense Explorer LT 127AZ Newtonian Reflector Telescope - 127mm. A groundbreaking instrument designed to transform the stargazing experience, particularly for beginners. This innovative telescope utilizes your smartphone to analyse the night sky, providing real-time positioning and guidance. With the app's user-friendly interface and comprehensive tutorials, exploring celestial objects becomes accessible and straightforward, effectively serving as a personal tour guide through the cosmos.

Setting up the telescope is remarkably easy. After docking your smartphone in the dedicated StarSense dock and launching the StarSense Explorer app, a quick two-minute alignment procedure allows the system to generate a list of visible celestial objects. Users can select an object, and the app will display directional arrows on the screen to assist in precisely positioning the telescope. When an object is properly aligned in the eyepiece, the app indicates this with a green bullseye, ensuring a seamless viewing experience.

The StarSense Explorer LT features a 127mm (5-inch) objective lens that gathers ample light, offering clear and vibrant views of both bright and faint celestial bodies. Whether observing the bands of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, or the Orion Nebula, users can expect sharp detail and remarkable clarity. Designed for both urban and darker sky locations, this telescope performs well in a variety of environments and is lightweight at just 11.4 pounds, making it easy to transport for outdoor adventures. With its combination of advanced technology and high-quality optics, the StarSense Explorer LT provides an engaging and educational stargazing experience for astronomy enthusiasts of all levels.
