Celestron StarSense AutoAlign for Sky-Watcher Mounts (SKU: 94006)

The Celestron StarSense Autoalign camera, when paired with the StarSense Hand Controller, revolutionizes the capabilities of an ordinary GoTo telescope, bringing professional-level observation within reach. Previously, such advanced functionality was limited to experts due to its cost and complexity.

Traditional computerized telescope systems required users to manually align and center at least two bright stars, leading to inconsistent accuracy and dependence on the observer's skill. However, with the Celestron StarSense Autoalign camera, this process becomes fully automated, eliminating these challenges and making it easier than ever before.

Equipped with a high-class Aptina MT9M304 sensor and a 32-bit processor, the Celestron StarSense Autoalign camera provides the telescope system with comprehensive information regarding its position and alignment. The user only needs to input basic details such as the time and date into the StarSense Hand Controller.

Once all the data has been collected and analyzed, the telescope's drive is ready to unveil the wonders of the night sky to the observer. This is made possible by the extensive database within the StarSense Hand Controller, which contains over 45,000 astronomical objects, including planets, stunning nebulae, and galaxies.
