Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope SC 150/1500 StarSense Explorer DX 6 AZ

Introducing the StarSense Explorer telescope, a revolutionary device that harnesses the power of your smartphone to navigate the cosmos in real-time. Perfect for beginners, this telescope offers an intuitive user interface and comprehensive tutorials, providing an unparalleled stargazing experience akin to having your personal celestial tour guide.

Say farewell to complex star charts and cumbersome mounts. With the StarSense Explorer, locating celestial objects has never been easier, quicker, or more precise. Simply dock your smartphone into the unique StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer app. After a brief, 2-minute alignment process, the app generates a list of visible celestial objects. Arrows guide you to move the telescope, and when the object is in view, the bullseye turns green.

Utilizing patent-pending technology and your smartphone, StarSense Explorer accurately determines the telescope's position in the night sky. A Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA) matches star patterns detected overhead to its internal database, ensuring precise navigation.

Even in light-polluted areas, StarSense Explorer can identify prominent celestial objects like Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, the Orion Nebula, double stars, and more.

Schmidt-Cassegrain Optics by Celestron:

Despite their long focal length, Celestron's Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes boast a compact design, making them highly portable. Light travels through an aspherically figured Schmidt corrector plate before being reflected onto a spherical main mirror. This closed system eliminates air turbulence and protects against dust, ensuring optimal image quality. Multi-coated Schmidt plates provide bright, clear images with minimal stray light reflections.

These telescopes offer exceptional image quality, making them ideal for planetary observation and astrophotography. With a Schmidt-Cassegrain design, they strike a balance between versatility and performance. Their long focal length combined with a short OTA facilitates easy orientation, even for terrestrial observation.

Featuring main mirror focusing and pre-loaded ball bearings to prevent 'mirror shift,' these telescopes offer a broad range of focus compatible with various accessories. Crafted from high-quality materials like CNC-milled aluminum and cast steel, they provide durability without the need for a heavy mount.
