Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 6 inch SC Smart Telescope
Unleash the power of your smartphone to take you on a guided tour of the night sky - no telescope experience required.
Award-winning and patented StarSense sky recognition technology uses your smartphone to analyse star patterns overhead and calculate its position in real time.
StarSense Explorer Powered by SkySafari™ app automatically generates a list of objects currently visible. View planets, brighter nebulae and galaxies, star clusters, and double stars from the city. Or take your telescope to darker skies to view faint, deep sky objects.
Manual altazimuth mount with smooth, dual-axis slow-motion controls makes it easy to follow the on-screen arrows to your desired target. When the bullseye turns green, it’s ready to view in the telescope’s eyepiece.
6” Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube with StarBright XLT coatings and enough light gathering ability to view all the best celestial objects
