Celestron launches a revolutionary new series of telescopes, the
StarSense Explorer . With these new telescopes and the StarSense Explorer
smartphone app, you can achieve
perfect alignment in just 2 minutes . This method, until now related to computerized telescopes, has never been successfully tested in manual-operated telescopes, until the arrival of this new StarSense Explorer range.
The operation of this system is
incredibly simple , the user must put their phone in the
smartphone holder included in the telescope, start the application, and from there
select the point or celestial object to observe. Once communication is established, the application will give you slow and precise movement
instructions until the telescope is perfectly aligned with the point to be observed. Then, you can go to the eyepiece and
start the observation , with the certainty that in the center of the image you will have the object you want to see.
