Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 80AZ Telescope (SKU: 22451)

Introducing the StarSense Explorer telescope series by Celestron, a groundbreaking innovation that revolutionizes the ease and comfort of stargazing. Designed to enhance visual observations of the night sky, this family of telescopes offers unparalleled convenience with the integration of smartphones and the user-friendly StarSense Explorer App™. By utilizing the advanced LISA (Lost in Space Algorithm) algorithm, this app recognizes star patterns, allowing users to effortlessly locate and explore celestial objects visible in the current sky.

One of the remarkable models in the StarSense Explorer series is the LT 80AZ. Boasting a high-class refractor design with an 80 mm aperture and f/11 light, this telescope collects over a hundred times more light than the naked human eye can perceive under the same conditions. Its exceptional optics deliver breathtaking views with remarkable sharpness and contrast, further enhanced by full multilayer coatings (FMC) on the lenses. With its lightweight construction, the LT 80AZ is perfect for observing from a terrace or balcony, and its portability allows for easy transportation to darker skies outside the city, amplifying its enchanting capabilities.

The telescope comes equipped with a stable and user-friendly azimuth mount, making it an ideal choice for beginners in visual observations. Compared to heavy equatorial mounts, the azimuth mount offers enhanced usability, simplifying the setup and operation process.
